For Example: You want to share some large files with your friends outside of your local area network,
however, they are too big, and it’s not convenient to transfer them. Then, you can build a FTP server on
your computer and set the router’s port range forwarding to enable your friends to access to these files
on your computer. Suppose that your FTP server or your computer’s static IP address is 192.168.0.10,
and you wish your friends can access the server through the default port 21 and adopts TCP protocol.
