Project description

The goal of this project was to develop a download application using an FTP client and configure a network based on experimental results.

Part 1 - Development of a Download Application

This application can be used by compiling the code in the download folder using the provided Makefile.

Some execution examples:

host netlab1.fe.up.pt (requires being inside FEUP's network or being connected with the VPN):

without login:

• ./download ftp://netlab1.fe.up.pt/pub.txt

with login:

• ./download ftp://rcom:rcom@netlab1.fe.up.pt/pipe.txt
• ./download ftp://rcom:rcom@netlab1.fe.up.pt/files/pic1.jpg
• ./download ftp://rcom:rcom@netlab1.fe.up.pt/files/pic2.jpg
• ./download ftp://rcom:rcom@netlab1.fe.up.pt/files/crab.mp4

host ftp.up.pt (doesn't require being inside FEUP's network):

• ./download ftp://ftp.up.pt/pub/debian/README
• ./download ftp://ftp.up.pt/pub/apache/README.html

Part 2 - Configuration and Study of a Network

The commands used for the configuration in each experience x are listed inside the respective exp<x> folder. The complete configuration is reached in experience 4, therefore, there aren't any new commands for experience 5 and experience 6.
