C++ FTP Client - ApexLead - Dec 30, 2018
Hello everyone,
I want to make a simple FTP client (For windows) using C++ without using external modules, Ive looked online for quite some time and my understanding is that I can either use sockets or WinSock for this cause, is it really the best way of doing so?
In case it is and in case it isn't, I would really appreciate a little guidance on how to start coding such thing ✌
P.S - Using Windows' FTP is not an option at this time, and I'm new to CPP programming so elaborations are appreciated :)

I want to write something of my own, and this one also have C libs if I'm not mistaken, can it be done only with C++?

IMO WinInet is easier and cleaner, its a wrapper around winsock and heavily documented on msdn.
also check this implementation http://etutorials.org/Programming/Pocket+pc+network+programming/Chapter+2.+WinInet/File+Transfer+Protocol+FTP/

You better look at FTP standard , RFC 959.
