hey this time no hacking it's time for simple programming

well in unix os we can easily make our socket and do various things through that socket echo and daytime applications are easy to find in any book on socket programming but ...
apart from that i can use a socket for file transfer !
well suppose i wanna make my own ftp client server application i have to make every function
which is there in an ftp client server applicationlike....


open pass user get mget
lcd help remotehelp and so on

right ...

but the question is would my ftp client work properly with any server?
if yes how if no why
look the main question is if i send ftp server a string "help" would it show help?


is it all a ftp client needs to do?
and by the way why is it so difficult to read or write on sockets u simply make a socket client server pair give a condition in server program that if received line ==help then do this.......
it looks to be a simple program but even this may give u a hard time..
reason is simple client is sending string help but server is not receiving....lol
why is that so only an expert can know and i am not an expert.


i hope newbies will find useful and experts will reply to the questions.and
i won't get banned
