Hello,

We use it every day, but do we actually know its full functions and capabilities? Read more, I’ll show you.

File Transfer Protocol, or better known as: “FTP”, is used to transfer files over the Internet through a TCP connection. The system consists of a client and a server. A connection is opened, either active or passive. Active connection, works by sending the request to the server and waiting until the server opens the TCP connection. Passive connection, works the other way around; when servers are behind firewalls and do not allow TCP connection inbound, the client sends the command to open a passive connection (PASV), and then the server sends an open connection request to the client.

How to Install Flvtool++

Last Updated on Thursday, 1 December 2011 02:01 Written by Richi González Sunday, 11 December 2011 12:00

Hello,

This article will guide you through the steps of installing Flvtool++ on your server. Clip-Bucket, for example, has the option to use Flvtool++ instead of Flvtool2. If I were asked which one was better, I would say Flvtool++. I am not responsible for any damage you may cause to your server, not because the commands I give you here are wrong, but because of an error from your part.

You will need SSH access.

Difficulty level: Medium (Easy if you have Linux commands knowledge)

NOTE: If you do not have Linux commands and terminal knowledge, I recommend you get someone to do it for you to assure you no errors will be made. YOU CAN STILL DO IT YOURSELF; IT IS SIMPLY A COPY-PASTE OF COMMANDS.
