Apple Remote Desktop 3.2 is the best way to manage the Macs on your network. Distribute software, provide real-time online help to end-users, create detailed software and hardware reports, and automate your routine management tasks all from your own. Every Mac computer is easy to use and simple to maintain--thanks to advanced Mac OS X features like Software Update, powerful preferences, and built-in networking. Now with Apple Remote Desktop 3, you can enjoy the same ease of use when you're managing more than one Mac. Whether you're responsible for a small business with a few computers, a midsize creative group, or an educational institution with a network of thousands, Apple Remote Desktop 3 enables you to manage all these computers--all from your own Mac. Distribute software, provide real-time online help to end users, create detailed software and hardware reports, and automate routine management tasks--all without leaving your desk. Apple Remote Desktop 3 is a suite of integrated desktop management tools that facilitate a wide range of IT tasks. Using a single affordable product, you can distribute software, control and configure computers, offer live online help and training, run detailed reports, and implement security policies. Because Apple Remote Desktop allows you to work remotely and efficiently, you can accomplish more in less time--without ever needing to leave your desk and often without interrupting your users. What's New in Apple Remote Desktop 3 Built to leverage the powerful capabilities in Mac OS X Tiger, the world's most advanced operating system, Apple Remote Desktop 3 offers more than 50 new features for managing networked Mac OS X systems. These include: Remote Spotlight search. With the revolutionary Spotlight technology in Mac OS X Tiger, you can perform lightning-fast searches on remote systems. Summary results for each client are updated instantly as results are returned. Administrators can view details or refine searches further using additional qualifiers on different types ofmetadata. Results can be viewed on remote client systems, copied back to the administrator system, or deleted. Remote Desktop widget. This new Dashboard widget provides you with instantaneous, at-a-glance views of remote computers in your system. The Remote Desktop widget is fully integrated with the computer lists that you've defined in Apple Remote Desktop. Automator actions. Apple Remote Desktop 3 includes more than 30 Automator actions. Administrators can chain actions together to create powerful system administration workflows. Save your Automator workflows as plug-ins to provide an easy, customized interface to Apple Remote Desktop capabilities. Remote Drag and Drop. Transfer files between two computers easily by dropping a file or folder from your computer onto a remotely controlled computer--or from a remote computer onto your own. Remote Copy and Paste. Copy and paste information between your local computer and a remote computer. AutoInstall. With automatic, policy-based installation of software packages, you can stage software to install on remote, mobile, or offline systems. AutoInstall is ideal for distributing software to mobile computers. Power Copy. A new file copy engine uses multicast technology and supports 64-bit file sizes, network bandwidth limits, and optional encryption of data streams. A new permissions editor can specify the user and group ownership permissions of a copied file on a remote computer. Curtain Mode. When controlling a remote computer, administrators can now choose to block the remote user's view of the desktop with a virtual "curtain." User History report. Administrators can find out which users have logged in to which computers on their network, making it easy to monitor networks for unauthorized computer use. Application Usage report. Administrators can view details on which applications have been used on remote systems, ensuring compliance with software licenses. Task Templates. Apple Remote Desktop 3 allows you to save task settings as templates for later use. The Task Template menu comes populated with more than 30 sample UNIX scripts. It's also easy to add your own favorites to the list for convenient access. Software Distribution Apple Remote Desktop 3 is an ideal solution for installing or upgrading software across multiple Mac systems. Whether it's a new version of Mac OS X or a suite of applications, it's easy to keep all of your computers up to date--without interrupting your users or requiring any user interaction. Users don't even need to be logged in. And with the new AutoInstall feature, administrators can initiate a software installation and let Apple Remote Desktop 3 take care of the rest. Network Copy Performance Apple Remote Desktop 3 performs copy operations up to 11 times faster than its predecessor, Apple Remote Desktop 2.2, with best performance over a Gigabit Ethernet network. Installing Software Use the Install Packages task pane to choose the software you wish to distribute. If you have more than one package to install, you don't have to wait for one installation to finish before starting the next one: Apple Remote Desktop 3 allows you to specify multiple applications for successive installation. Apple Remote Desktop tasks can be executed immediately, scheduled to run at a specified date and time, or saved for future execution. Apple Remote Desktop 3 allows you to view a list of your previously executed tasks, as far back as you choose. AutoInstall Ideal for managing mobile computers, this new feature enables automatic, policy-based installation of software packages on remote systems. Start by using Apple Remote Desktop 3 to set up a list of target computers, whether they're offline or on the network, for software installation or update. With AutoInstall, you can copy the install package to a Task Server, which will attempt to contact the target computers. If the computers are on the network, the Task Server can execute the installation immediately. For offline clients, the Task Server holds the package and installs it automatically as soon as a target computer connects to the network, keeping track of which computers have had the software successfully installed. After installation, your installer files are deleted from the client system automatically. Apple Remote Desktop can even restart the client system remotely. Software installations can be deployed immediately or scheduled for a later date and time--for example, when network traffic is low or when users are typically away from their computers. For applications that require only drag-and-drop installation, you can use the File Copy feature for software distribution. File Copy is also useful for distributing files and folders, such as fonts and configuration files, to an exact location in the client's hard drive. Asset Management As an administrator or support professional, you need to keep track of the configuration of Mac systems in your organization. Apple Remote Desktop 3 allows you to collect information on more than 200 hardware and software attributes, including memory, CPU, the version of the operating system, and hard disk size. This critical data can help you assess your organization's readiness for operating system or application updates and determine whether any additional software or hardware is needed for the migration. It's also valuable for help desk professionals to have configuration details on systems that are experiencing problems. With the new Spotlight search capability, you can quickly search remote computers and copy the results back to the administrator computer--or delete them entirely. Also new are User History and Application Usage reports that provide specific information to help you monitor software compliance and the security of your systems. Remote Spotlight Search Apple Remote Desktop 3 extends the revolutionary Spotlight technology in Mac OS X Tiger, so administrators can perform comprehensive, lightning-fast searches not only on their own computer, but on any Mac on the network. Whether you're looking for a file, application, or image, Spotlight can find it. Results are returned instantly--from the first letter you type--and updated continuously with no lag times or slowdowns. You can refine searches using different metadata types or additional qualifying filters. With Apple Remote Desktop 3, administrators can display the search results on remote systems, copy results back to their own computer, or simply delete them. Usage Reports The new User History report gives detailed information on who is using a computer, when they logged in and out, and how they accessed the computer. The Application Usage report details which applications have been used on remote systems, including the number of launches of an application, the duration of the launch, and who executed the launch. Administrators can use this report to ensure compliance with their software license agreements and to discover any unauthorized use of applications. Install Packages task pane. Whether you're looking for a file, application, or image, Spotlight can find it. Hardware Reports Hardware reports cover details on hard drives, network interfaces, memory, USB and FireWire devices, and PCI cards. System Overview. This report provides information about a client's processor and memory, system software, AirPort setup, attached devices, displays, network settings, Lights Out Management configurations, system preferences, printer lists, and key software attributes. The report can be used to identify problems, verify system configurations before installing new software, or determine how many devices of a particular type, such as scanners, are being used in a particular lab. Storage. Information about the client's internal hard disks includes the hardware itself, the volumes on the disk, file system information, and journaling information. Network Interfaces. This report provides information for all active and inactive network interfaces, including detailed network input, network output, and Ethernet statistics from the client computer. Use this information to identify network errors or faulty network equipment, troubleshoot network performance, and query the network settings of client computers. Memory. Specific information about the memory (RAM) installed in the client system includes each memory module's size, type, speed, and slot location. Memory reports can be used to manage computer resources, troubleshoot hardware, or determine which client computer can best handle a memory-intensive application or task. FireWire Devices. Information on FireWire devices connected to the client computer includes the manufacturer, model, speed, software version, and firmware version for each device. USB Devices. Information on Universal Serial Bus devices connected to the client computer includes product name and ID, vendor name and ID, speed, and bus power for each device. PCI Cards. This report provides specific information about the PCI cards--such as card name, type, and vendor ID--installed in a client computer, as well as the card's slot location. Network Performance. This test measures and troubleshoots the communication between client computers and the administrator system. Use the report to help identify reasons for network communication problems that could affect Apple Remote Desktop. For example, if there are issues copying items to a particular client computer, the Network Performance report can isolate the problem to a particular cable or hub. Administration Settings. This report shows which Apple Remote Desktop 3 administration privileges are enabled or disabled. These privileges can also be found in the Sharing or Remote Desktop pane of System Preferences on individual client computers. Reporting Using Task Server You can use a computer other than the administrator computer to collect reporting data on an automated basis. By using a computer as a Task Server, you can always be ready for client computers to send their reporting information--while freeing up the administrator computer for other management tasks. Software Reports In addition to Spotlight search, Apple Remote Desktop 3 includes three types of software reports that provide details on file system attributes and installed application versions, as well as the results of its powerful file search capabilities. File Search. Specific information about files and folders on client systems allows you to audit installed applications. For example, to check compliance with license agreements, you can identify how many copies of a particular application are in use. You can also use File Search to search by file size, helping you identify large files and applications that may be taking up too much space on the hard drive. Software Version. Use this report to make sure that users have the latest and most appropriate application versions for their systems. Software Difference. This report can help you detect application versions that are out of date, nonstandard, or otherwise unacceptable--or learn whether a user has installed an unauthorized application. Remote Administration New in Apple Remote Desktop 3, you can save task settings as templates in the Task Template menu, making it easy to apply them at a later time. For the Send UNIX task, the Task Template menu comes populated with more than 30 sample scripts--just add your favorites to the list for convenient access. You can use more than a dozen commands securely on one or more remote Mac OS X client systems, including: Sleep, wake, restart, and shut down Power on computers that feature Lights Out Management Log out users Open files and applications Empty Trash Lock and unlock screens with a custom or default image Rename computers, with the option of adding unique numbers Set startup disk Send and execute remote shell scripts or UNIX commands With all Apple Remote Desktop commands, you can schedule tasks for a future date and time, choose a frequency for repeating the tasks, or save them--complete with current configuration and target computers--for later use. Designate the startup disk of client systems from your own computer. Apple Remote Desktop 3 allows you to observe and control remote Mac OS X systems from anywhere on the network. Remote Shell Scripts Thanks to the UNIX-based foundation of Mac OS X and a rich set of command-line tools, Apple Remote Desktop enables you to execute UNIX shell scripts and commands on multiple remote client systems and get feedback on their success or failure. This powerful capability gives you unlimited flexibility to accomplish system maintenance tasks--even if there is no explicit Apple Remote Desktop command for the task. What's more, Apple Remote Desktop includes two command-line tools--systemsetup and networksetup--that can set the Network, Energy Saver, and Date & Time system preferences. The Remote Shell Scripts command also benefits from the new Task Template feature in Apple Remote Desktop 3. Remote Boot Disk Selection Apple Remote Desktop 3 allows you to designate the startup disk of client systems from your own computer. This feature enables you to set any number of Mac computers to start up from a NetBoot or Network Install image or from a specific partition on the local hard drive--especially useful for deploying a standard desktop configuration across multiple systems, whether in classrooms, computer labs, kiosks, or compute clusters. After selecting the boot disk, you set the systems to restart immediately or at a later date and time. There's no need to travel from location to location configuring each system individually. Remote Assistance With powerful screen-sharing and text-messaging capabilities, Apple Remote Desktop 3 makes it easy to provide thorough technical assistance to the computer users in your organization. Observe and control one or many remote Mac OS X systems. Apple Remote Desktop 3 uses the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) standard--which means it's also possible to observe and control VNC-enabled Windows, Linux, and UNIX systems. New remote assistance capabilities, such as drag and drop and copy and paste, make interacting with client computers even easier. And when you're configuring sensitive information on remote systems, Curtain Mode provides an added degree of privacy. Observe and Control Apple Remote Desktop 3 allows you to observe and control remote Mac OS X systems from anywhere on the network. Each observe and control window includes a toolbar for adjusting the color depth of the remote screen; a screen capture button allows you to take snapshots of the remote screen. Toggle buttons let you switch between observe and control modes, sharing control and taking complete control of the mouse and keyboard, and fit-in-window and full-screen modes. With the fit-in-window mode, you can scale your view of the remote screen to fit your control window. Resizing the screen in your window also resizes the client screen. By scaling down the screen--and, as a result, transmitting less data--you can achieve better performance over slower network connections. Apple Remote Desktop 3 also lets you control computers that have multiple displays attached. You can choose to view all the displays in one virtual window or to view only one display at a time. Remote Drag and Drop Now it's easy to transfer files and folders between two computers. With the new Remote Drag and Drop feature, you can simply drag and drop a file or folder from your computer to a remotely controlled computer--or from a remote computer to your own. Remote Copy and Paste You can move text or images easily by copying and pasting them from your local computer to a remote computer. Curtain Mode Apple Remote Desktop 3 allows you to block the remote user's view of the desktop with a virtual "curtain." This gives administrators additional security when configuring sensitive information. Multi-Observe with System Status Indicators With Apple Remote Desktop 3, you can observe up to 50 screens simultaneously, so you quickly understand what's happening on your network. The multi-observe window allows you to specify the number of remote computer screens to display in one window. If you have more computers on your network than you wish to view in the multi-observe window, you can page through their screens based on an adjustable timer setting. As with the control and observe windows, you can specify the color depth at which the remote screens are displayed. New in Apple Remote Desktop 3 are system status indicators (SSIs) that provide at-a-glance information about the computers in your network. Under each screen, you'll see the name of the computer, the name of the current user, and the user's account picture. Red, yellow, and green indicators show the status of the computer. (Users who are color-blind can choose shapes to indicate status.) Click the indicator light to get details on available disk space, memory utilization, and CPU utilization. Screen Sharing and Text Messaging Apple Remote Desktop 3 enables you to select one or multiple Mac screens and share them with other Mac OS X systems. This feature is useful for demonstrating specific tasks or for training a group of computer users. Two-way text messaging allows you to broadcast text messages to one or more Mac OS X systems or to initiate private, real-time computer-to-computer text chat. With text messaging enabled, client users can also initiate text communications to request assistance from their administrator or help desk. Automation Apple Remote Desktop 3 includes more than 30 Automator actions, making it quick and easy to accomplish time-consuming, repetitive manual tasks. Automator Workflows With Automator and Apple Remote Desktop 3, it's easy to create custom administration workflows by chaining together individual actions. You can save these workflows as self-running applications, droplets, or plug-ins that can be accessed in an instant through Script Menu--whenever you need them. For example, you may need to configure a new batch of systems all at once: setting a corporate desktop, turning on remote access, setting Finder preferences such as Energy Saver settings, changing the time zone, and syncing the time to the corporate time server. By creating and saving a plug-in that accomplishes all these tasks in exactly the same way every time, you can streamline the process of configuring any new system. Once you've created a desktop management workflow, you can easily share it with less technical people in your organization. Teachers can use Automator actions and plug-ins to manage their classroom systems--for example, adjusting the volume on a computer or locking a screen--without needing to know anything about Apple Remote Desktop. This allows you to extend the power of Apple Remote Desktop and ensure consistent system administration standards across your organization. |

The "Go to Your Spot" command is a great command to have in your arsenal for a well-behaved dog. For this exercise your dog should have the basic understanding of the "down-stay" command. You will need a blanket, rug, or portable bed to use as the "spot" for your dog.
Start by walking your dog to the "spot" and say "go to your spot", put the dog on the blanket, give him the "down" and "stay" commands. Once he is in the "down-stay" you can release him. Repeat this process several times, increasing the duration of the "down-stay" as the dog understands the steps involved.
Once you can walk him to his "spot" and he starts to "down" automatically, it is time to begin omitting the word "down" from the above sequence. The new sequence will be: bringing your dog to his "spot" as you tell him "go to your spot", then putting your dog into the "down" position (he may already go without you doing so) and giving him the "stay" command. Again, repeat this process several times, increasing the duration of the "down-stay" as the dog understands the steps involved.
Now it is time to tell your dog to "go to your spot" and expect him to lie down and stay there, without actually giving the "down" or "stay" commands. If he does not "down" or "stay" when he is in his "spot", put him into position, and make him stay until you release him. Make sure to do this every day, in different places, so that your dog becomes reliable and can be left "in his spot" while you go about daily activities.
Long down stays are important in general, whether or not he is "in a spot", because they help you to maintain control over your dog. By your dog having to work for you, it facilitates a relationship in which you are dominant (in charge or the alpha figure) in your and your dog's mind.

All about FTP [MUST KNOW]
Setting Up A Ftp:
Well, since many of us have always wondered this, here it is. Long and drawn out. Also, before attempting this, realize one thing; You will have to give up your time, effort, bandwidth, and security to have a quality ftp server.
That being said, here it goes. First of all, find out if your IP (Internet Protocol) is static (not changing) or dynamic (changes everytime you log on). To do this, first consider the fact if you have a dial up modem. If you do, chances are about 999 999 out of 1 000 000 that your IP is dynamic. To make it static, just go to a place like h*tp://www.myftp.org/ to register for a static ip address.
You’ll then need to get your IP. This can be done by doing this:
Going to Start -> Run -> winipcfg or www.ask.com and asking ‘What is my IP?’
After doing so, you’ll need to download an FTP server client. Personally, I’d recommend G6 FTP Server, Serv-U FTPor Bullitproof v2.15 all three of which are extremely reliable, and the norm of the ftp world.
You can download them on this site: h*tp://www.liaokai.com/softw_en/d_index.htm
First, you’ll have to set up your ftp. For this guide, I will use step-by-step instructions for G6. First, you’ll have to go into ‘Setup -> General’. From here, type in your port # (default is 21). I recommend something unique, or something a bit larger (ex: 3069). If you want to, check the number of max users (this sets the amount of simultaneous maximum users on your server at once performing actions – The more on at once, the slower the connection and vice versa).
The below options are then chooseable:
-Launch with windows
-Activate FTP Server on Start-up
-Put into tray on startup
-Allow multiple instances
-Show “Loading…” status at startup
-Scan drive(s) at startup
-Confirm exit
You can do what you want with these, as they are pretty self explanatory. The scan drive feature is nice, as is the 2nd and the last option. From here, click the ‘options’ text on the left column.
To protect your server, you should check ‘login check’ and ‘password check’, ‘Show relative path (a must!)’, and any other options you feel you’ll need. After doing so, click the ‘advanced’ text in the left column. You should then leave the buffer size on the default (unless of course you know what you’re doing ), and then allow the type of ftp you want.
Uploading and downloading is usually good, but it’s up to you if you want to allow uploads and/or downloads. For the server priority, that will determine how much conventional memory will be used and how much ‘effort’ will go into making your server run smoothly.
Anti-hammering is also good, as it prevents people from slowing down your speed. From here, click ‘Log Options’ from the left column. If you would like to see and record every single command and clutter up your screen, leave the defaults.
But, if you would like to see what is going on with the lowest possible space taken, click ‘Screen’ in the top column. You should then check off ‘Log successful logins’, and all of the options in the client directry, except ‘Log directory changes’. After doing so, click ‘Ok’ in the bottom left corner.
You will then have to go into ‘Setup -> User Accounts’ (or ctrl & u). From here, you should click on the right most column, and right click. Choose ‘Add’, and choose the username(s) you would like people to have access to.
After giving a name (ex: themoonlanding), you will have to give them a set password in the bottom column (ex: wasfaked). For the ‘Home IP’ directory, (if you registered with a static server, check ‘All IP Homes’. If your IP is static by default, choose your IP from the list. You will then have to right click in the very center column, and choose ‘Add’.
From here, you will have to set the directory you want the people to have access to. After choosing the directory, I suggest you choose the options ‘Read’, ‘List’, and ‘Subdirs’, unless of course you know what you’re doing . After doing so, make an ‘upload’ folder in the directory, and choose to ‘add’ this folder seperately to the center column. Choose ‘write’, ‘append’, ‘make’, ‘list’, and ’subdirs’. This will allow them to upload only to specific folders (your upload folder).
Now click on ‘Miscellaneous’ from the left column. Choose ‘enable account’, your time-out (how long it takes for people to remain idle before you automatically kick them off), the maximum number of users for this name, the maximum number of connections allowed simultaneously for one ip address, show relative path (a must!), and any other things at the bottom you’d like to have. Now click ‘Ok’.
**Requested**
From this main menu, click the little boxing glove icon in the top corner, and right click and unchoose the hit-o-meter for both uploads and downloads (with this you can monitor IP activity). Now click the lightning bolt, and your server is now up and running.
Post your ftp info, like this:
213.10.93.141 (or something else, such as: ‘f*p://example.getmyip.com’)
User: *** (The username of the client)
Pass: *** (The password)
Port: *** (The port number you chose)
So make a FTP and join the FTP section
Listing The Contents Of A Ftp:
Listing the content of a FTP is very simple.
You will need FTP Content Maker, which can be downloaded from here:
ht*p://www.etplanet.com/download/application/FTP Content Maker 1.02.zip
1. Put in the IP of the server. Do not put “ftp://” or a “/” because it will not work if you do so.
2. Put in the port. If the port is the default number, 21, you do not have to enter it.
3. Put in the username and password in the appropriate fields. If the login is anonymous, you do not have to enter it.
4. If you want to list a specific directory of the FTP, place it in the directory field. Otherwise, do not enter anything in the directory field.
5. Click “Take the List!”
6. After the list has been taken, click the UBB output tab, and copy and paste to wherever you want it.
If FTP Content Maker is not working, it is probably because the server does not utilize Serv-U Software.
If you get this error message:
StatusCode = 550
LastResponse was : ‘Unable to open local file test-ftp’
Error = 550 (Unable to open local file test-ftp)
Error = Unable to open local file test-ftp = 550
Close and restart FTP Content Maker, then try again.
error messages:
110 Restart marker reply. In this case, the text is exact and not left to the particular implementation; it must read: MARK yyyy = mmmm Where yyyy is User-process data stream marker, and mmmm server’s equivalent marker (note the spaces between markers and “=”).

Active FTP vs. Passive FTP, a Definitive Explanation
Introduction
One of the most commonly seen questions when dealing with firewalls and other Internet connectivity issues is the difference between active and passive FTP and how best to support either or both of them. Hopefully the following text will help to clear up some of the confusion over how to support FTP in a firewalled environment.
This may not be the definitive explanation, as the title claims, however, I’ve heard enough good feedback and seen this document linked in enough places to know that quite a few people have found it to be useful. I am always looking for ways to improve things though, and if you find something that is not quite clear or needs more explanation, please let me know! Recent additions to this document include the examples of both active and passive command line FTP sessions. These session examples should help make things a bit clearer. They also provide a nice picture into what goes on behind the scenes during an FTP session. Now, on to the information…
The Basics
FTP is a TCP based service exclusively. There is no UDP component to FTP. FTP is an unusual service in that it utilizes two ports, a ‘data’ port and a ‘command’ port (also known as the control port). Traditionally these are port 21 for the command port and port 20 for the data port. The confusion begins however, when we find that depending on the mode, the data port is not always on port 20.
Active FTP
In active mode FTP the client connects from a random unprivileged port (N > 1024) to the FTP server’s command port, port 21. Then, the client starts listening to port N+1 and sends the FTP command PORT N+1 to the FTP server. The server will then connect back to the client’s specified data port from its local data port, which is port 20.
From the server-side firewall’s standpoint, to support active mode FTP the following communication channels need to be opened:
FTP server’s port 21 from anywhere (Client initiates connection)
FTP server’s port 21 to ports > 1024 (Server responds to client’s control port)
FTP server’s port 20 to ports > 1024 (Server initiates data connection to client’s data port)
FTP server’s port 20 from ports > 1024 (Client sends ACKs to server’s data port)
In step 1, the client’s command port contacts the server’s command port and sends the command PORT 1027. The server then sends an ACK back to the client’s command port in step 2. In step 3 the server initiates a connection on its local data port to the data port the client specified earlier. Finally, the client sends an ACK back as shown in step 4.
The main problem with active mode FTP actually falls on the client side. The FTP client doesn’t make the actual connection to the data port of the server–it simply tells the server what port it is listening on and the server connects back to the specified port on the client. From the client side firewall this appears to be an outside system initiating a connection to an internal client–something that is usually blocked.
Active FTP Example
Below is an actual example of an active FTP session. The only things that have been changed are the server names, IP addresses, and user names. In this example an FTP session is initiated from testbox1.slacksite.com (192.168.150.80), a linux box running the standard FTP command line client, to testbox2.slacksite.com (192.168.150.90), a linux box running ProFTPd 1.2.2RC2. The debugging (-d) flag is used with the FTP client to show what is going on behind the scenes. Everything in red is the debugging output which shows the actual FTP commands being sent to the server and the responses generated from those commands. Normal server output is shown in black, and user input is in bold.
There are a few interesting things to consider about this dialog. Notice that when the PORT command is issued, it specifies a port on the client (192.168.150.80) system, rather than the server. We will see the opposite behavior when we use passive FTP. While we are on the subject, a quick note about the format of the PORT command. As you can see in the example below it is formatted as a series of six numbers separated by commas. The first four octets are the IP address while the second two octets comprise the port that will be used for the data connection. To find the actual port multiply the fifth octet by 256 and then add the sixth octet to the total. Thus in the example below the port number is ( (14*256) + 178), or 3762. A quick check with netstat should confirm this information.

Passive FTP
In order to resolve the issue of the server initiating the connection to the client a different method for FTP connections was developed. This was known as passive mode, or PASV, after the command used by the client to tell the server it is in passive mode.
In passive mode FTP the client initiates both connections to the server, solving the problem of firewalls filtering the incoming data port connection to the client from the server. When opening an FTP connection, the client opens two random unprivileged ports locally (N > 1024 and N+1). The first port contacts the server on port 21, but instead of then issuing a PORT command and allowing the server to connect back to its data port, the client will issue the PASV command. The result of this is that the server then opens a random unprivileged port (P > 1024) and sends the PORT P command back to the client. The client then initiates the connection from port N+1 to port P on the server to transfer data.
From the server-side firewall’s standpoint, to support passive mode FTP the following communication channels need to be opened:
FTP server’s port 21 from anywhere (Client initiates connection)
FTP server’s port 21 to ports > 1024 (Server responds to client’s control port)
FTP server’s ports > 1024 from anywhere (Client initiates data connection to random port specified by server)
FTP server’s ports > 1024 to remote ports > 1024 (Server sends ACKs (and data) to client’s data port)
In step 1, the client contacts the server on the command port and issues the PASV command. The server then replies in step 2 with PORT 2024, telling the client which port it is listening to for the data connection. In step 3 the client then initiates the data connection from its data port to the specified server data port. Finally, the server sends back an ACK in step 4 to the client’s data port.
While passive mode FTP solves many of the problems from the client side, it opens up a whole range of problems on the server side. The biggest issue is the need to allow any remote connection to high numbered ports on the server. Fortunately, many FTP daemons, including the popular WU-FTPD allow the administrator to specify a range of ports which the FTP server will use. See Appendix 1 for more information.
The second issue involves supporting and troubleshooting clients which do (or do not) support passive mode. As an example, the command line FTP utility provided with Solaris does not support passive mode, necessitating a third-party FTP client, such as ncftp.
With the massive popularity of the World Wide Web, many people prefer to use their web browser as an FTP client. Most browsers only support passive mode when accessing ftp:// URLs. This can either be good or bad depending on what the servers and firewalls are configured to support.
Passive FTP Example
Below is an actual example of a passive FTP session. The only things that have been changed are the server names, IP addresses, and user names. In this example an FTP session is initiated from testbox1.slacksite.com (192.168.150.80), a linux box running the standard FTP command line client, to testbox2.slacksite.com (192.168.150.90), a linux box running ProFTPd 1.2.2RC2.

Everything in red is the debugging output which shows the actual FTP commands being sent to the server and the responses generated from those commands. Normal server output is shown in black, and user input is in bold.
Notice the difference in the PORT command in this example as opposed to the active FTP example. Here, we see a port being opened on the server (192.168.150.90) system, rather than the client. See the discussion about the format of the PORT command above, in the Active FTP Example section.

Summary
The following chart should help admins remember how each FTP mode works:
Active FTP :
command : client >1024 -> server 21
data : client >1024 <- server 20
Passive FTP :
command : client >1024 -> server 21
data : client >1024 -> server >1024
A quick summary of the pros and cons of active vs. passive FTP is also in order:
Active FTP is beneficial to the FTP server admin, but detrimental to the client side admin. The FTP server attempts to make connections to random high ports on the client, which would almost certainly be blocked by a firewall on the client side. Passive FTP is beneficial to the client, but detrimental to the FTP server admin. The client will make both connections to the server, but one of them will be to a random high port, which would almost certainly be blocked by a firewall on the server side.
Luckily, there is somewhat of a compromise. Since admins running FTP servers will need to make their servers accessible to the greatest number of clients, they will almost certainly need to support passive FTP. The exposure of high level ports on the server can be minimized by specifying a limited port range for the FTP server to use. Thus, everything except for this range of ports can be firewalled on the server side. While this doesn’t eliminate all risk to the server, it decreases it tremendously.
About the Author
would you read this book based on the summary?
my 2 friends and i are in the middle of writing a book. we are about 200 pages into it. anyway here is the summary:
Cait is no ordinary pixie. her mother is 2nd in command, her father has been missing for 15 years, and she is falling in love with a warlock.
as well as there being so many attacks on the city of Valoel and it's people, there are even more signs that a war between angels and demons is looming ahead. who's side will the city of Valoel be on? and how will they defeat the other side?
it's just another thing to add to the list of four friend's problems.
Probably not, but I know younger people (11-14) who would.
