FTP

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

As the name implies, FTP is used to transfer files.

Security

FTP uses plain text passwords, so take care.

History

XXX - add a brief description of FTP history

Protocol dependencies

Example traffic

XXX - Add example traffic here (as plain text or Wireshark screenshot).

Wireshark

The FTP dissector is fully functional.

Preference Settings

There are no FTP specific preference settings.

Example capture file

XXX - Add a simple example capture file to the SampleCaptures page and link from here. Keep it short, it's also a good idea to gzip it to make it even smaller, as Wireshark can open gzipped files automatically.

Display Filter

A complete list of FTP display filter fields can be found in the display filter reference

Show only the FTP based traffic:

Capture Filter

You cannot directly filter FTP protocols while capturing. However, if you know the TCP port used (see above), you can filter on that one.
