I don't understand, in the article, why trivial FTP or Gopher are "alternatives" to anonymous FTP. How do those address the issues against anonymous FTP? And isn't TFTP only useful in a local network since it doesn't use the reliable TCP? — Długosz
Many webhosts claim that a unique IP is required to set up an anonymous ftp server. It is never explained why a static IP is necessary. Can the article address this point? Why can't we have anonymous download from an ftp server with a shared IP? Thanks. AugustinMa ( talk) 09:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
According to RFC 959, PORT command is not needed because "There are defaults for both the user and server data ports, and under normal circumstances this command and its reply are not needed." but this fact is never mentioned in the article 125.161.204.150 ( talk) 08:35, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Here is the default for the client port. The default for the server port, 20, indeed not mentioned. But not saying anything about it, some might think that it is a fixed port. By the way, the following from text comment to the sentence I just quoted, namelyIn active modes, the client starts listening for incoming data connections on port N+1 from the server
is a bit odd. Why should the client announce something the server can calculate by itself? The answer is, probably:(the client sends the FTP command PORT N+1 to inform the server on which port it is listening)
For each possible client command, I would like to know the proper server response. I'm creating my own FTP server software and want to know EXACTLY the signal that the server should send when the client calls PASV. I know it should contain the IP address and the port of the file server, but what is the format of that response? Is it "227 123.123.123.123:12345" or is it something else? Please post this kind of info here on Wikipedia. I can't find this specific info anywhere on the net. Animedude5555 ( talk) 22:56, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
