# Multi-Threaded Web Server and FTP Client
## Overview
This repository contains an implementation of a multi-threaded web server and an FTP client. The project is divided into two main tasks:
1. **Task 1:** Implement a multi-threaded web server in Python.
2. **Task 2:** Extend the web server to act as an FTP client to download text files from a local FTP server.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.x
- Docker (for setting up the FTP server)
### Installation
1. **Clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/qme02/Multi-Threaded-Web-Server-and-FTP-Client
cd Multi-Threaded-Web-Server-and-FTP-Client
### Docker Setup for FTP Server
1. **Install Docker:**
- Follow the [official Docker installation guide](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) for your operating system.
2. **Run the Docker container for the FTP server:**
```bash
docker run --rm -it -p 20:20 -p 21:21 -p 4559-4564:4559-4564 -e FTP_USER=1234 -e FTP_PASSWORD=1234 docker.io/panubo/vsftpd:latest
3. **List running Docker containers to find the container ID in a new terminal window:**
```bash
docker container ls
4. **Log in to the container and change ownership of the FTP directory:**
- Replace with the actual container ID from the previous step.
```bash
docker exec -it /bin/bash
- Inside the container, change the ownership of the FTP directory:
```bash
chown ftp:ftp /srv
5. **Create a test file in the FTP directory:**
- Still inside the container, create a test file:
```bash
echo "Hello World!" >> /srv/ftp_test.txt
6. **Verify setup by accessing files through the web server:**
- In your web browser, navigate to the following URLs to test various content types:
- http://localhost:6789/index.html
- http://localhost:6789/index2.html
- http://localhost:6789/index.txt
- http://localhost:6789/index.png
- http://localhost:6789/index.jpg
- http://localhost:6789/index.jpeg
- http://localhost:6789/index.gif
- http://localhost:6789/ftp_test.txt (This will test the FTP client functionality)
