FTP SERVER AND CLIENT IMPLEMENTATION: This repository contains the source code for a simple FTP server and client implemented in C.

PREREQUISITES:

1. GCC Compiler
2. Linux/Unix environment (for the pthread library)

COMPILATION: FTP SERVER: To compile the FTP server, navigate to the directory containing the ftp_server.c file and run: gcc ftp_server.c -o ftp_server -lpthread

This will produce an executable named ftp_server.

FTP CLIENT: To compile the FTP client, navigate to the directory containing the ftp_client.c file and run: gcc ftp_client.c -o ftp_client

This will produce an executable named ftp_client.

RUNNING THE PROGRAMS: FTP SERVER: To run the FTP server, use: ./ftp_server

Replace with the desired port number (e.g., 3456). Default PORT in the Code is 8080.

EXAMPLE: ./ftp_server

FTP CLIENT: To run the FTP client, use: ./ftp_client

Replace <SERVER_IP> with the IP address of the server and with the port number the server is listening on. Default SERVER_IP 127.0.0.1 and Default PORT 8080.

EXAMPLE: ./ftp_client

SUPPORTED FTP COMMANDS: The client and server implementation supports the following commands:

1. put : Upload a file to the server.
2. get : Download a file from the server.
3. cd : Change the current directory on the server.
4. ls: List the contents of the current directory on the server.
5. close: Disconnect from the server.
