Custom - FTP

FTP implemented using an improved version of UDP

Usage

• Set the variables CLIENT_IP and SERVER_IP in src/client.py and src/server.py
• Specify the path to the file to be delivered in src/server.py. This file should be place in the data directory

data_file = open(os.path.join(HOME_DIR,'data','---filename--'), 'rb')

• Note that the file to be delivered must be of a 'bytestring' format, since this is the format that is written by the client script. This allows for reliable comparison of the received file with the original
• First run the client script on the receiving system, and then the server script on the sending system. The client script will terminate when the file transfer is completed, and then the server script will exit when it no longer detects a connection with the client script

user@client_ip:~/custom-ftp$ python3 src/client.py

user@server_ip:~/custom-ftp$ python3 src/server.py

• The variables DATA_SIZE and transmission_rate in src/server.py, and the socket timeout in src/client.py can be tuned to suit different use cases and network conditions
