1. Find out if there`s already any FTP library on your
OS you can link your program to. This will make life
easier, saving you fr5om writing an FTP functioanlity
base on your own from scratch. On GNU/Linux, there`s
something called ftplib (but don`t remember exactly).

2. Know the FTP protocol well. Read the RFC. You`ll
save yourself from a lot of trouble, disgust and
embarrasment. :-)

3. FTP works on TCP/IP. Build a prototype in some
other rapid-development language such as Python or
Perl before writing a C based program.

Just my 2-pence.

Regards,
Shantanu
