cFTP : Simple FTP client

Simple command line File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client for browsing and downloading files from FTP servers.

About

This application was developed as assignment for our exam of networks at the University of Strasbourg. As we had only two hours to code the whole project we resumed our work on this project several months after in order to get it into a more presentable and complete shape. Enjoy :-)!

Build

It's very straightforward! Just use the following command:

make
