MyFTP

Dependencies

Zero. Only python standard libs were used.

Running

Client

You can run python3 src/myftp/client.py to start the client or python3 src/myftp/client.py --debug 1 for debugging purposes.

Server

By default, the server IP address or hostname or server name will be 0.0.0.0 (meaning it will bind to all interfaces). The --port_number flag, if not specified will be by default 12000.

You can run python3 src/myftp/server.py to start the server or python3 src/myftp/server.py --ip_addr <insert ip addr of the server> --port_number <insert port number here> --debug 1 for debugging purposes and to specify the port number.

Testing with Docker

Dependencies

docker and docker-compose

Setup

• Make you are at the root of this repo.
• Build the system with docker-compose up --build --remove-orphans.
• Wait 10 seconds.
• 2 containers will be created on the same network mynetwork. Their respective IP addresses will be printed to stdout.
• Open two terminal windows: one for each of server and client.
• Run the server with docker exec -it project-ftp_server_1 python server.py <insert any flags here>.
• Run the client with docker exec -it project-ftp_client_1 python client.py <insert any flags here>.
• For the client, when asked to put in the ip address and port number of the server, you can put in ftp_server 12000 or adjust to your chosen port number. The IP address is resolved by Docker so ftp_server can not be changed.
• Tear down everything with docker-compose down.
