You work as the security administrator at Certpaper .com. You must secure the FTP (File Transfer
Protocol) server by allowing only authorized users access to it. How will you accomplish this task?
A.
Provide the FTP server’s address to only those users that must access it.
B.
Allow blind authentication.
C.
Do not allow anonymous authentication.
D.
Redirect FTP to a different port.
Explanation:
Early FTP servers did not offer security. Security was based on the honor system. Most logons to
an FTP site used the anonymous logon. By convention, the logon ID was the user’s email
address, and the password was anonymous.
