Lab 07
Objective:
In this lab we will learn how to configure FTP and email services using the simulated server in
CISCO Packet Tracer.
Theory:
Webmail is an email service that uses a web browser to allow viewing, sending, receiving,
editing & deleting of email, just as you would with standard email clients such as Outlook,
Apple Mail or Thunderbird. Webmail is ideal for mobile users because it allows you to access
your email from anywhere, anytime with any computer connected to the Internet. Webmail
Calendar allows you to manage your appointments via drag & drop and inline editing. It also
supports calendar overlays to allow simultaneous viewing (side-by-side) of shared calendars.
Webmail provides the ability to manage all your contacts and groups in your web browser, just
as you would with standard email clients. You can add/delete contacts or import existing
contacts from other email clients like Outlook, as CSV files.
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files
from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on
client-server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and
the server. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and uses separate control and data
connections between the client and the server. FTP users may authenticate themselves using a
clear sign-in protocol, normally in the form of a username and password, but can connect
anonymously if the server is configured to allow it. For secure transmission that protects the
username and password, and encrypts the content, FTP is often secured with SSL/TLS (FTPS).
SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is sometimes also used instead but is technologically
different.
Procedure:
1) Click FTP Server, and then select the Services tab followed by the FTP button.
2) Click on to enable FTP Service
3) Set username & Password
4) Give privileges to the created user of read, write, delete, rename and list the files.
Now set service for pc1 and write it on command prompt:
C:\> ftp 192.168.1.250
Username: basit (I made this user)
Password: 1234 (whenever you write password on a command prompt it never be visible to you)
By giving help command we can see all possible operation that we allowed during the creation of
user.
We get the files information by using command dir:
Step 1: Configure Mail Server to send (SMTP) and receive (POP3) Email.
a. Click Mail Server, and then select the Config tab followed by the EMAIL button.
b. Click On to enable the SMTP and POP3.
c. Set the domain name to hitecuni.edu.pk and click Set.
d. Create a user named student with password 1234. Click + to add the user.
Open PC5 Email and click on Receive you will get the email.
Lab Task
1. Configure a Three Mail servers that can send and receive email to/from each other.
