.. _FTPClient:
FTPClient
#########
The ``FTPClient`` provides a client interface for connecting to the :ref:`FTPServer`.
Key features
============
- Connects to the :ref:`FTPServer` via the ``SoftwareManager``.
- Simulates FTP requests and FTPPacket transfer across a network
- Allows the emulation of FTP commands between an FTP client and server:
- PORT: specifies the port that server should connect to on the client (currently only uses ``Port.FTP``)
- STOR: stores a file from client to server
- RETR: retrieves a file from the FTP server
- QUIT: disconnect from server
- Leverages the Service base class for install/uninstall, status tracking, etc.
- :ref:`FTPClient` and ``FTPServer`` utilise port 21 (FTP) throughout all file transfer / request
Usage
=====
- Install on a Node via the ``SoftwareManager`` to start the FTP client service.
- Service runs on FTP (command) port 21 by default
- Execute sending a file to the FTP server with ``send_file``
- Execute retrieving a file from the FTP server with ``request_file``
Implementation
==============
- Leverages ``SoftwareManager`` for sending payloads over the network.
- Provides easy interface for Nodes to transfer files between each other.
- Extends base Service class.
Examples
========
