What are two descriptions for FTP? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, E

1. It is built on a client-server model architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server2. Here are the explanations for the correct answers:

* B: The copy running-config ftp: command is used to copy the running configuration from a router to an FTP server or vice versa. This is a common method for backing up and restoring configurations on Cisco devices1.

* E: FTP typically requires authentication, which means a Cisco router acting as an FTP client must be configured with the appropriate username and password to access an FTP server. This ensures secure file transfer and access control1.

The other options are incorrect because:

* A: FTP is not used to load Cisco IOS Software to a router in ROMMON mode; this is typically done using TFTP or Xmodem.

* C: While a router can act as an FTP server, this is not a description of FTP itself.

* D: FTP uses TCP as its transport protocol, not UDP. FTP needs the reliability that TCP provides because it ensures the complete and accurate transfer of files1.

I heard a rumor that FTP stands for 'Frequent Typo Protocol' because it's so easy to mistype the commands. Anyone else experience that?

E is a good one. FTP usually does require authentication, unlike the good old days of anonymous FTP. Keep those credentials handy!

Hmm, I'm not sure about A. Isn't TFTP the one used for IOS software upgrades? FTP is more for files and configs, right?

I agree with you, Shenika. FTP does require authentication and can load Cisco IOS Software.

I'm pretty sure FTP uses TCP, not UDP. D is definitely wrong.

B and C seem to be the right answers. FTP can definitely be used to copy configs, and routers can definitely act as FTP servers.
