How to run

• Build

make build

• Server
  • When a server (myftpd) receives a request for a TCP connection request, it forks() and the child process accepts subsequent command messages from the client.

./myftpd src

• Client
  • Once a TCP connection is established, a client (myftpc) displays the prompt "myFTP%" and waits for user input.

./myftpc <IP>
