FTP implementation

Go FTPd

• A fully functional FTP client and server module written in Golang.
• Currently supported commands are as follows:
  • cd: Changes directory in remote context
  • pwd: Prints current remote directory
  • ls: lists all Files/directories in current remote directory
  • cat: display contents of a particular file
  • del: delete a remote file
  • get: download a remote file
  • put: upload a local file

Usage:

• Clone the repository with:

git clone https://github.com/The-Debarghya/goftpd

• Move to the server directory and compile with: go build .
• Add username and encrypted-password hashes(AES-256) along with the key in creds.json file.
• Make two directories named ftp and ftpfiles in the directory above server or client.(These 2 directories actually work as work directories for server and client respectively.)
• Start the server first.
• Next switch to another console tab and move to client directory and compile with: go build .
• Now run the client.
• The above mentioned steps works fine for localhost connections. To setup server to accept connections over same network, change the HOST constant to the required IP address in client.go file:

const (
	HOST = "localhost"
	PORT = "9999"
	BUFFSIZE = 5120
)
