    W/hich protocol is used to download files from the internet?

    Explanation
    FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the correct answer. It is a standard network protocol used for transferring files from one host to another over a TCP-based network, such as the internet. FTP allows users to download files from a remote server to their local computer. It provides a simple and efficient method for file transfer, making it widely used for downloading files from the internet.

    What is the encrypted version of Telnet?  It issues commands across the internet but the traffic is encrypted.

    Explanation
    Telnet is a protocol used to remotely access and manage devices over a network, but it does not provide encryption for the transmitted data. On the other hand, SSH (Secure Shell) is a cryptographic network protocol that provides secure communication between two systems. It encrypts the data exchanged between the client and server, ensuring confidentiality and integrity. Therefore, SSH is the correct answer as it offers the encrypted version of Telnet, making it a more secure option for remote access and command execution.

    Which port does DNS use?

    Explanation
    DNS (Domain Name System) uses port 53. The DNS protocol is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses and vice versa. When a client wants to resolve a domain name, it sends a DNS query to a DNS server using port 53. The server then responds with the corresponding IP address, allowing the client to establish a connection to the desired website or service. Port 53 is specifically assigned for DNS communication, ensuring that DNS queries and responses are properly handled by the correct network services.

    Explanation
    FTP (File Transfer Protocol) operates on ports 20 and 21. These ports are used for establishing a connection and transferring data between a client and a server in FTP communication. Port 20 is used for data transfer, while port 21 is used for control commands and establishing the initial connection. The correct answer options include all the possible combinations of these two ports, including both the orderings and the individual ports listed separately.

With Telnet, users can log in to a remote computer and execute commands as if they were directly connected to it. It provides a text-based interface and is commonly used for tasks such as remote administration, troubleshooting, and network configuration. Telnet operates on port 23 and is widely supported by various operating systems and network devices.
