The FTP server service is integrated with the Windows 
security model. Users connecting to the FTP server 
service are authenticated based on their Windows

their user profiles. Keep in mind, however, that the 
FTP Server protocol relies on the ability to pass user 
passwords over the network without data encryption. 
As a result, a user with physical access to the network 
could examine user passwords during the FTP 
validation process.

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) can be used 
interactively. FTP is a service that, once started, 
creates a sub-environment in which you can use FTP 
commands, and from which you can return to the 
Windows command prompt by typing the quit 
subcommand. When the FTP sub-environment is 
running, it is indicated by the FTP command prompt.
