This screen displays preset application settings as well as options for cus-

tomization of port services for other applications.

The Preset Applications 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 Web site on a local machine, they are typically uploaded to the

Web server using FTP. FTP includes functions to log on to the network, list

directories, and copy files. FTP operations can be performed by typing com-

mands 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 with ftp://.
