FTP Module

Overview

This C++ module implements a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) handler for a network application, operating at the Application Layer (OSI Layer 7). It processes FTP control and data connections, handling commands and responses, and provides integration with a Qt-based graphical interface for settings on Windows platforms. The module is designed to work within a larger network analysis or monitoring system.

Features

• Protocol Handling: Processes FTP control commands (e.g., USER, PASS, PORT, RETR, STOR, CWD) and responses (e.g., 220, 227, 250, 257).
• Connection Management: Manages both control and data connections using FTP_ControlConnection and FTP_DataConnection classes.
• Qt Integration: Supports a graphical settings interface using Qt, with platform-specific handling for Windows.
• Session Tracking: Maintains active FTP sessions in control_connections and data_connections containers.
• Localization: Uses QObject::tr for translatable strings (e.g., module name, description).
• Resource Management: Initializes and frees resources associated with FTP sessions.
