I Could Not Connect to the Server in FileZilla 1and1In Feburary 2016 24,

In Feburary 2016 24,
Users often confuse hosting accounts with FTP accounts. You enter the username and password for your hosting account to access the website control panel on 1and1. This username and password is not even relevant to FileZilla. Instead, you need to retrieve the details for your FTP account to use FileZilla. You get an FTP username and password in the welcome email when you join. If you no longer have access to this email, get your FTP username from inside the panel and set up a new password.
Account Management
Access your admin control panel by logging into your hosting account. If you have more than one domain, choose which one you want to administer. Select 'FTP Accounts' in the 'Webspace' menu to see your username -- this is the username that you enter into FileZilla to upload files to your website. However, because the password is hidden even in your own account for security reasons, you need to create a new password if you do not know it. Click 'Edit' to see the option to create a new password. Write this and the username down on a piece of paper to make sure you are using the correct account details in FileZilla. You can also click 'New User' to set up additional usernames and passwords for FTP purposes.
Establishing a Connection
Now that you are sure you have the correct username and password for your FTP account, you need to enter the correct information in FileZilla. Open the software, then click the 'Site Manager' icon, which has an image of two computers, near the top. In the window that pops up, select 'New Site' and enter any name for this site, then enter your website address; however, do not enter the 'http' and 'www' portions of the address -- for example, enter 'MySite.com,' not 'www.MySite.com.' Leave the port as '21' and the server type as 'FTP,' but change the 'Logontype' option to 'Normal.' Enter the FTP username and password that you've retrieved from the 'FTP Accounts' section in your 1and1 hosting account. Click 'Save and Exit.' To establish a connection, click the 'Site Manager' icon again, select your website and click 'Connect.'
Other Troubleshooting
If you are still experiencing connection problems, you may have an issue with the FileZilla FTP utility. Because this is free software, download another copy from FileZilla's website. If you still cannot connect with a new copy, 1and1 may be having a server issue; call 866-991-2631 to check the server's status. Another option is to try another free FTP client to isolate whether the problem is FileZilla or 1and1. Examples include Core FTP and Go FTP.

What Is a Port Scan Attack on a Computer?In Feburary 2016 04,

In Feburary 2016 04,
A linear port scan involves scanning every port on a system. Internet Protocol ports use a 16-bit numbering system, which means a total of 65,536 ports can exist on a single IP address. A liner port scan will scan all of these ports to see which ones are open, closed or hidden.
Random Port Scan
A random port scan is similar in concept to a linear port scan. However, with a random port scan, only a specified number of random ports are scanned instead of all of the available port numbers. The reason for doing this is to speed up the scan, particularly when the attacker is scanning multiple computers in attempt to find vulnerabilities. With a random port scan, if any of the scanned ports are found to be open, the attacker will investigate that computer further.
Well-Known Service Port Scan
Many services run on established 'Well-Known' ports, such as ports 25 and 110 for e-mail, 21 for FTP and 80 for the Internet. A port scan that only targets well-known ports is similar in concept to a random port scan, except the port numbers are predefined instead of random. Like a random port scan, if any of the tested ports are found to be open, the attacker will investigate the computer further.
Reconnaisance
After the specified method of port scanning has completed, the attacker views the results and further investigates those computers containing open ports. When a port is found to be open, it means that some type of service is running on that port, and there's a chance that the attacker can exploit it for the purposes of gaining remote access to the computer system. With a proper access exploit in place, an attacker could potentially gain control of the computer system.
