Implementation support of a FTP protocol in the system

[Patryk Kubiak]

Target Description

From the version V.0.17.2.0 the system allows for execution of stand-alone programs, but currently it is not very convenient as every time it has to be copied by manual into the SD/MMC card or the target flash memory. Implementation of FTP can resolve this problem.

General Description

To prevent duplication of definitions FTP protocol should be implemented in 3 parts. The first part (FTP library) is responsible for handling FTP logic and it should be stored in core space in directory net/protocols/ftp/. The second part is FTP Server, that should be implemented as service in ftp protocol files. The server should use interface of FTP library to handle clients requests. The third one is a program named ftp that allows for connection to the remote FTP server and transfer files with it.
