Maximum Marks: 5
Implement an ftp server with multiple clients using sockets. A
client should be able to access the server, choose a file and
transfer it to/from the server. A client should be able to run at
least the following commands:
lscdchmodlls (local ls on the client)lcd (local cd on the client)lchmod (local chmod on the client)putgetclose
Take-Home Message
Sockets are perhaps the best-known and most flexible mechanism for
inter-process communication.
The assignment aims to make one comfortable with TCP/IP sockets
across different computers. ftp is a complex
protocol to transfer files across a network. The assignment seeks
to get a bare-bones implementation of the main part of the file
transfer, without bothering about connections, authentication,
encryption and access issues.
