Abstract:
The File transfer protocol, which was originally defined in RFC 114
and published in 1971, well before TCP and IP were created. However,
it is still in wide use. Many FTP servers implement RFC 959, which
requires IPv4. RFC 2428 defines extensions that allow FTP to work
over IPv6 by introducing the EPRT and EPSV commands. When IPv6 FTP
clients attempt to communicate with IPv4 FTP servers through an
IPv6-IPv4 translator, only certain combinations of FTP client and
server behavior lead to successful file transfers. This document
proposes the best current practice for IPv6 FTP client
implementations in the IPv6-IPv4 translation scenario, allowing file
transfers to succeed without the presence of an ALG (Application
Layer Gateway).
