NetworkProgramming

Project 1: NPShell

• In this project, you are asked to design a shell with special piping mechanisms.

Project 2: Remote Working Systems

• In this project, you are going to design 2 servers:
  • np_simple (Single User): Project 1. (Concurrent connection-oriented)
  • np_single_proc (Multiple users): Project 1 + User Pipe + 4 Functions + Broadcast message. (Single-process concurrent)

Project 3: Remote Batch System

• In this project, you are going to design the remote batch system and the project is divided into two parts:
  • Remote batch system in NP Linux Workstation
  • Remote batch system in Windows 10 (use a MinGW distribution)

Project 4: Proxy Server

• In this project, you are going to implement SOCKS 4/4A protocol.

• Please refer to NP_Project4_Spec.pdf and NP_Project4.pdf for project details.

• You are strongly recommended to pore over the SOCKS 4/4A protocol (link1/link2).

• You need to setup your own FTP server for testing.

• Port number is specified by the first argument: ./socks_server [port]

• Reminder:

  • FTP mode should be set to ACTIVE mode.
  • If you run the FTP server on localhost, please ensure you can connect from outside. (e.g., by disabling the firewall)
