Need Compiler which has FTP lib

Hello, As we known RL ARM doesnt support FTP server. It only supports tftp. But for our application i need to implement FTP server. I am using Keil micro 3 version. I need to know any GCC compilers available which supports my LPC2388 and comes with ftp library's.

  • Any gcc compilers? I don't think you will find many gcc compilers - why should there be a need for more than one gcc compiler for the ARM target and each possible host system?

    Your question should be: What free TCP/IP stacks are there that may be used on your target. And does any of these stacks come with an ftp server?

    The alternative is that you have to write a ftp server on top of any suitable TCP/IP stack. You would also have to decide if you need full ftp, or if passive ftp is enough.

    But back to square one: Exactly why isn't tftp enough?

  • Quite the contrary!

    GCC = GNU Compiler Collection: as that name suggests, it is a collection of very many compilers - for many languages and many targets.

    However, you are (probably) right that there is only one C/C++ compiler in the collection for ARM target!

    Ya you may be correct. But In the tftp server can we get encryption and decryption? And in tftp anyone can get into my data page and can play around.

    For the security issue we are going for ftp. So i need a compiler or some tool which would have ftp supporting library. If its a free one it would be great. I may be wrong about actually what i am looking for. But i need a ftb library supported compiler.
