VS-FTP (Very Simple File Transfer Protocol)

*** Notes to grader ***

This program can transfer any type of file, including binary files, so I believe this is worth extra credit points.

How to use

1. After cloning this repository or unpacking the zip, cd into the top-level directory, and run the following command.

   make server PORT=<listen_port>

   For example, if you are on flip1:

       [user@flip1]$ make server PORT=12345
       ...
   
       ./ftserver 12345
       Server listening on localhost at port 12345

   Where <listen_port> will be the port that the client will connect on for the initial control connection.

2. Next either on the same host, or a different one such as flip2, run the following command

       make server HOST=<server_host> CPORT=<ctrl_port> DPORT=<data_port>

   
   For example, if the server is on flip1 listening on port 12345, and you are now on flip2:

       [user@flip2]$ make client HOST=flip1 CPORT=12345 DPORT=12344
       python3 src/ftclient.py flip2 12345 12346
