# FTP

FTP (file transfer protocol) is used for downloading and uploading files from/to the server. In some cases, the FTP servers will be configured to host the webroot with write permissions which gets us the reverse shell by uploading malicious reverse shell contents

## Connecting

```bash
ftp 10.10.10.10

# list the contents
ls

# change the directory
cd <dir>

# timeout due to passive mode ?
passive
ls
```

## File Operations

```bash
# upload file to the ftp server
put dnoscp.php

# download a single file from the ftp server
get web.config

# download files recursively
prompt off
recurse on
mget *

# recursive download with wget
wget -r ftp://<username>:<password>@10.10.10.10/<dir>/*
```
