Per the LQ Rules, please do not post homework assignments verbatim. We're happy to assist if you have specific questions or have hit a stumbling point, however. Let us know what you've already tried and what references you have used (including class notes, books, and Google searches) and we'll do our best to help. Also, keep in mind that your instructor might also be an LQ member.
That said, welcome to LQ!! You CAN get help with homework here, but you typically need to show what work you have already done. One way to get started would be looking at the source code for some existing program. |
hey there
i am not s school student trying to find easy way out of my project i am graduate its just that i am trying to learn networking and have studied just one book... now i want to develop a decent application (ftp) i have a vision in my mind but am clueless for direction.... i am not asking for whole source code but just the basic steps for developing ftp i have learnt multithreaded apis and built simple client server modules... i have checked on net and found most of simple example on ftp in java... but i realy want to develop it in c thanks ur help appriciated |
I don't know how much bloat it has, I know vsftpd is made to run securely and fast. However it's open source and might be a good place to start.
http://vsftpd.beasts.org/ check out the source code and go from there...you definitely have your work cut out for you-learning C and developing a program in 15 days... |
Quote:
ProFTP and vsftp both have their source code available for you to look at. And in your first post, you said this was an "academic project", but now you say it isn't...both can't be true. You're either doing this for a school project or you're not. If you have SPECIFIC questions, you'll find alot of help. But you're asking for very vague 'help', with doing an entire project. |
hey thanks for that link....

1. This is a programming qn, so use the Report button to ask the mods to move it to Programming forum
2. Write your own attempt for each fn, test it. If it doesn't work, post the code as a qn and we will help you debug it. See LQ rules. |
