SimpleFTPServer

Simple FTP server using socket programming written in Python. The client can upload files to the server or pull files from the server.

How To Run

In a terminal run the server.

cd server
python tcp_server.py

Then in a new terminal let the client ping the server.

cd client
python tcp_client.py

From here the client can send requests to the server

Features

Simple Message Response

The server will respond to any message from the client by capitalization.

Message: hi :)
Received:  HI :)

OPEN Port

The OPEN command will change the connection to the specified port number. Input Command is OPEN <port number>

QUIT

Will quit out of the client connection. Client socket is closed and cannot connect to anything else, server is only left with welcome socket. Command: QUIT

CLOSE

Similar to QUIT - Will close the connection between the client and the server, so the server is listening to receive connections and the client is free to make other connections. Command: CLOSE

PUT

Will upload a file from the client directory to the server. I know you can do this with the FTP library in python but I just used socket. Command: PUT <filename>

GET

Will retrieve a file from the server and save it in the client directory Command: GET <filename>

Note that these can be combined to download and upload together.
