Wireless Cable/DSL Router

The Preset Applications at the top of the list are among the most widely used Internet applications. They include the following:

•FTP (File Transfer Protocol) A protocol used to transfer files over a TCP/IP network (Internet, UNIX, etc.). For example, after developing the HTML pages for a website on a local machine, web developers typically upload the files to the web server using FTP. FTP includes functions to log onto the network, list directories, and copy files. FTP operations can be per- formed by typing commands at a command prompt or via an FTP utility running under a graphical interface such as Windows. FTP transfers can also be initiated from within a web browser by entering the URL preceded by ftp://.

•Telnet A terminal emulation protocol commonly used on Internet and TCP/IP-based networks. It allows a user at a terminal or computer to log onto a remote device and run a program.

•SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet. It is a TCP/IP protocol that defines the message format and the message transfer agent (MTA), which stores and forwards the mail.

•DNS (Domain Name System) The way that Internet domain names are located and translated into IP addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember “handle” for an Internet address.

•TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) A version of the TCP/IP FTP proto- col that has no directory or password capability.

•Finger A UNIX command widely used on the Internet to find out infor- mation about a particular user, such as his or her telephone number, whether the user is currently logged on, and the last time the user was logged on. The person being “fingered” must have placed his or her profile on the system in order for the information to be available. Fingering requires entering the full user@domain address, for example, name@universityname.edu.

•HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) The communications protocol used to connect to servers on the World Wide Web. Its primary function is to establish a connection with a web server and transmit HTML pages to the client web browser.

•POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) A standard mail server commonly used on the Internet. It provides a message store that holds incoming e-mail until users log on and download it. POP3 is a simple system with little selectivi- ty. All pending messages and attachments are downloaded at the same time. POP3 uses the SMTP messaging protocol. (SMTP may also need to be for- warded.)
