A client is downloading a large file from a server using FTP. One of the segments is lost during transit. What will happen?

• The FTP session is immediately terminated.
• The FTP client responds to the server with a smaller window size in the TCP header.
• The FTP client responds to the client with an increased window size in the TCP header.
• The FTP server responds to the client with a smaller window size in the TCP header.
• The FTP server responds to the client with an increased window size in the TCP header.
• The FTP session continues, but the result is a corrupt file that must be downloaded again.
• The FTP session continues with no alteration in window size, and the missing segment is requested again after the rest of the file is downloaded.

Explanation: FTP makes use of TCP, so as soon as segments are lost in transit, the receiving device will send a decreased window size in returning segments.
