FTP SERVLET

Abstract

This paper presents new idea about the servlet we know about http servlet and generic servlet case of http servlet we use http protocol for the server side programming this is a protocol dependent servlet if we use ftp and SMTP protocol instead of http protocol then servlet will be protocol independent. An FTP servlet is an intermediate application that resides between the FTP server and the FTP client. It works as a proxy interposed within client/server communications and helps to unload some of the computing power of the FTP server and distribute it to the FTP servlet. It also provides a firewall and proxy friendly file transfer environment by wrapping FTP traffic over HTTP. FTP traffic can be wrapped over Https using a SSL certificate to provide enhanced security.

Keywords: SMTP, wrapping FTP, enhanced security
