Hi everyone.
My name is Nick Russo,
and welcome to my Protocol Deep Dive on FTP and Its Variants.
FTP is one of those technologies that is conceptually simple,
but technically challenging,
and I've developed this course to help you overcome those knowledge gaps.
The course is packed with many different topics and tools,
including the technical exchanges in FTP active verses passive mode,
securing FTP traffic using SSL certificates or Secure Shell,
deploying lighter-weight FTP options such as Trivial FTP,
mastery of all FTP variants using both IPv4 and IPv6.
This also includes network security design advice throughout the course.
After completing this course,
you'll know how to operate many flavors of FTP and when to choose
each one given different design requirements.
Before beginning this course,
I'd recommend the following prerequisite courses: An
Introduction to IPv6 will give you the necessary knowledge to
understand and follow the basic IPv6 concepts.
The SSH module of Pluralsight's SSH and Telnet deep dive
is useful for learning about SSH FTP.
I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn about FTP and its
variants with this Protocol Deep Dive course, at Pluralsight.
