FTP Server

A. Third Edition

This is almost the perfect edition that I can make except that some strange behaviour happens when you try to 

transfer file of size bigger than 1M. I highly suspect it is due to the size of buffer of windows socket. The

lab instructor agrees to my opinion. 

Here it comes...

Hi Nick,

I encountered the same error before. Try to run WSAGetLastError() to see the
code of error you get. I also think that it is due to the receiver buffer.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no way to adjust the buffer size since
this is in another layer. You may try to slow the sending process a little bit
or to increase the packet size from 128 up to 1024.
Also, a log file on both sides may help you to figure out what is happening. If
you a doing this, you have to close it after each writing process and open it
again, otherwise you will lose all the data in case of program failure.
Anyway, don't panic, if all other requirements are accomplished, this will not
significantly affect your mark.

Here it goes...

Here it goes...

B.The problem

In network, a client program may request files to be put to or get from server program. You have to use the

socket to implement with a basic file transfer protocol by your own.

/********************************************************************************
features:
1. all data and command are sent in a data unit of "packet" (see packet.h)
2. socket transimission function are similar in both server and client side, so,
I decide to write socket as a single class just like "delphi".
3. socket is closed at both client and server side after each file transmission.
4. robust error handling mechnism combined with "exception" handling.
a) file name is checked before send out request.
b) empty file doesn't allow to be sent.
c) when a packet of type of "ErrorType" is received, exception is thrown.
d) when file open error occurs, an "ErrorType" packet is sent to remote host to
abort current operation along with error no message so that remote host
can display error information accordingly.

********************************************************************************/
/*********************************************************************************
file transmission protocol:
1. put file:
a) Client sends an outgoing packet of "type" of "PutType" to start. The "data" field stores
the file name to be sent, "tail" field stores the size of file. The offset of a
constant number of bytes in "data" field also stores the "user ID".
b) Server replies an outgoing packet of type of "PutReplyType" by copying incoming packet to
confirm.
c) Client starts sending data packet till end of file.
d) Client sends out a packet of type of "EOFType" to indicate end of transimission even
though server already gets file size from first packet.
2. get file:
a) Client sends an outgoing packet of "type" of "GetType" to start. The "data" field stores
the file name to be sent, "tail" field stores the size of file. The offset of a
constant number of bytes in "data" field also stores the "user ID".
b) Server replies an outgoing packet of type of "GetReplyType" by copying incoming packet to
confirm.
c) Server starts sending data packet till end of file.
d) Server sends out a packet of type of "EOFType" to indicate end of transimission even
though server already gets file size from first packet.

D.The major functions

E.Further improvement

It is said that TCP/IP won't lose packet of transfer, but I just continually plan to re-implement this functionality

F.File listing

project client:

1. error.h

2. error.cpp

3. log.h

4. log.cpp

5. packet.h

6. socket.h

7. socket.cpp

8. client.cpp

project server:

1. error.h

2. error.cpp

3. log.h

4. log.cpp

5. packet.h

6. socket.h

7. socket.cpp

8. server.cpp

workspace setup: 

1. create an empty "workspace".

2. copy all above source code under the workspace.

3. "new" a project named "client" by "add to current workspace".

4. "new" a project named "server" by "add to current workspace".

5. switch between two project and from "project" menu "add files" to project.

6. in "project" menu choose "setting" and "link", add "wsock32.lib" at end.

By doing above, you don't have to modify the "file path" of all head files.

How to run?

1. run server first.

2. run client and type in computer name of server.

3. type in command "get" or "put" and file name which must be in current file path.
