How to run

  • Build
make build
  • Server
    • When a server (myftpd) receives a request for a TCP connection request, it forks() and the child process accepts subsequent command messages from the client.
./myftpd <dir>
  • Client
    • Once a TCP connection is established, a client (myftpc) displays the prompt "myFTP%" and waits for user input.
./myftpc <IP>
