1. TITLE OF THE LAB REPORT EXPERIMENT
Configuration of SMTP server/Email transfer
Configuration of FTP server
2. OBJECTIVES/AIM :
1. Email Communication: To enable email communication within the network, allowing
users to send and receive emails. This is particularly important for internal and external
communication within an organization.
2. SMTP Server Configuration: To configure the SMTP server, ensuring that it can send
and receive emails. This involves setting up email accounts, domains, and the necessary
protocols for email delivery.
3. Email Transfer: To understand the process of email transfer and how Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP) works. This includes learning about mail routing and how
emails are sent across networks.
4. File Sharing: To facilitate file sharing and data transfer among network users through the
use of an FTP server. This is crucial for collaborative work and data exchange within an
organization.
5. FTP Server Configuration: To set up and configure the FTP server with the appropriate
security measures and user access controls. This includes defining user accounts and
permissions.
6. File Transfer Protocols: To gain an understanding of File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and
its variations (e.g., FTPS and SFTP) for secure and efficient file transfer.

6. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION:
Configuring an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server is fundamental for enabling email
communication within a network. This involves setting up SMTP server software on a dedicated
server, creating email accounts, and configuring DNS settings for email routing. Testing is
essential to verify the SMTP server's functionality, ensuring seamless email sending and
receiving. Simultaneously, configuring an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server is crucial for
efficient file sharing among network users. This requires the installation of FTP server software
on a designated server, creating user accounts with appropriate access permissions, and
implementing security measures and firewall rules to safeguard data. Both servers play integral
roles in network services, supporting email communication and file sharing while demanding
careful configuration and security considerations.
