Remote Logging: Topics Discussed in This Section

This document discusses remote logging and accessing application programs on remote computers. It mentions that TELNET is a general-purpose client/server program that allows users to access applications on remote computers. It also discusses electronic mail (email) and its architecture, including user agents, message transfer agents (SMTP), and message access agents (POP and IMAP). It describes different scenarios for sending email when the sender and receiver are on the same or different systems. Finally, it briefly discusses file transfer using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

REMOTE LOGGING

It would be impossible to write a specific client/server


program for each demand. The better solution is a
general-purpose client/server program that lets a user
access any application program on a remote computer.

Topics discussed in this section:


TELNET
Note

TELNET is a general-purpose
client/server application program.

ELECTRONIC MAIL

One of the most popular Internet services is electronic


mail (e-mail). The designers of the Internet probably
never imagined the popularity of this application
program. Its architecture consists of several
components that we discuss in this chapter.

Topics discussed in this section:


Architecture
User Agent
Message Transfer Agent: SMTP
Message Access Agent: POP and IMAP
Web-Based Mail

Figure 6 First scenario in electronic mail

Note

When the sender and the receiver of an


e-mail are on the same system,
we need only two user agents.

7
Figure 7 Second scenario in electronic mail

8
Note

When the sender and the receiver of an


e-mail are on different systems, we
need two UAs and a pair of
MTAs (client and server).

Figure 8 Third scenario in electronic mail

10
Note

When the sender is connected to the


mail server via a LAN or a WAN,
we need two UAs and two pairs
of MTAs (client and server).

13
Note

When both sender and receiver are


connected to the mail server via
a LAN or a WAN, we need two
UAs, two pairs of MTAs
and a pair of MAAs.
This is the most common situation
today.

FILE TRANSFER

Transferring files from one computer to another is one


of the most common tasks expected from a networking
or internetworking environment. As a matter of fact,
the greatest volume of data exchange in the Internet
today is due to file transfer.

Topics discussed in this section:


File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Anonymous FTP

25
Note

FTP uses the services of TCP. It needs


two TCP connections.

The well-known port 21 is used for the


control connection and the well-known
port 20 for the data connection.
