FTP needing two ports?
Studying for the Network+ and I have a question. What are the ports needed for FTP? -port 20, for data -port 21, is it channel or communication? And why does FTP need two ports to communicate? Is it because it is connection-oriented, unlike TFPT, which communicates on port 69 and is connection-less? thanks
