The File Transfer Protocol is called to be ____
A
In-Band
B
Off-Band
C
Out-of-Band
D
Under-Band
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because FTP uses a separate control connection, FTP is said to send its control information out-of-band. In Chapter 6 we shall see that the RTSP protocol, which is used for controlling the transfer of continuous media such as audio and video, also sends its control information out-of-band.

Detailed explanation-2: -In-band means sending commands in an operating system through a standard NVMe driver and commands, while out-of-band means outside of the operating system knowledge, most commonly done with a host BMC through the SMBUS protocol, but now can be done over PCIe vendor defined messages as well.

Detailed explanation-3: -Out-of-band channels include local, non-network accesses to systems; network paths physically separate from network paths used for operational traffic; or non-electronic paths, such as the U.S. Postal Service.
