## Dependencies
Ensure the following libraries are installed:
### OpenSSL (For Secure FTP using SSL/TLS protocol and PBKDF2 hashing)
```bash
sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev
```
### Zlib (For Gzip compression/decompression)
```bash
sudo apt install zlib1g zlib1g-dev
```
### SQLite3 (For storing user information)
```bash
sudo apt install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
```
### build-essential (Required build tools)
```bash
sudo apt install build-essential
```
### Cmake (For building the project)
```bash
sudo apt install cmake
```

## Generating SSL Certificate and Key for the Server
1. Navigate to the `/security` directory inside the server folder:
```bash
cd server/security
```
2. Generate a self-signed SSL certificate and private key:
```bash
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 \
-keyout server.key -out server.crt -config openssl.cnf
```
3. Copy the generated certificate (`server.crt`) to the client’s `/security` directory:
```bash
cp server.crt ../../client/security
```
---
## Build Instructions
### Build the Server
1. Navigate to the server directory:
```bash
cd server
```
2. Create a build directory and compile:
```bash
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
```
3. Run the server:
```bash
sudo ./bin/server
```
**Example:**
```bash
sudo ./bin/server 8000
```
### Build the Client
1. Navigate to the client directory:
```bash
cd client
```
2. Create a build directory and compile:
```bash
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
```
3. Run the client:
```bash
./bin/client
```
**Example:**
```bash
./bin/client 127.0.0.1 8000
```

## Debugging with Valgrind
Valgrind can be used to check memory leaks and runtime errors.
### Debugging the Server
```bash
sudo valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes ./bin/server
```
### Debugging the Client
```bash
valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes ./bin/client
```
---
## Example Usage
### Start the Server
```bash
sudo ./bin/server 8000
```
### Start the Client
```bash
./bin/client 127.0.0.1 8000
