OpenSSH listens on TCP 22 by default. Its SFTP subsystem transfers files over SSH, not the historical protocol assigned port 115.

TCP 25 carries SMTP mail transfer, commonly between mail servers. Mail clients should use the submission endpoint specified by their provider.

Conventional DNS uses port 53 over UDP and TCP. Treating DNS as a UDP-only service can cause incomplete or intermittent resolution.

DHCPv4 servers use UDP 67 and clients use UDP 68. This is an address-lease protocol, not a website to open in a browser.

An HTTP URL without an explicit port normally uses 80. The actual web-server configuration determines whether and where a listener exists.
Common Software05
Default port for Apache HTTP server
Default port for Nginx web server
Microsoft's web server integrated in Windows Server
Kerberos authentication protocol port

Post Office Protocol version 2 (POP2)
Common Software02
Post Office Protocol version 2 server
Legacy mail service
POP3 (Post Office Protocol v3) fetches mail over TCP 110. After downloading, whether server copies are deleted depends on the client DELE command and server policy — unlike IMAP (143/993), which is designed to keep copies on the server. POP3 is plaintext; the TLS variant is POP3S on 995.

IANA assigns TCP 115 to the historical Simple File Transfer Protocol. Its SFTP abbreviation must not be confused with SSH File Transfer Protocol.

NTP (Network Time Protocol) syncs clocks between clients and servers over UDP 123. A wrong system clock breaks TLS certificate validation, scrambles log ordering and invalidates distributed locks.
