An FTP client connects to an FTP server using active mode and retrieves a copy of a file from the server. Which of the answers describes a TCP connection initiated by the FTP client?

• The FTP control connection
• The FTP data connection
• The FTP TLS connection
• None of the other answers are correct.

Explanation: FTP uses both a control connection and a data connection. The FTP client initiates the control connection. However, in active mode, the FTP server initiates the data connection. Also, note that FTP does not use TLS, while FTP Secure (FTPS) does use TLS.
