FTP协议是一种面向连接的、客户端-服务器协议。 2. FTP使用两个TCP连接来传送一个文件: - 控制连接:客户端和服务器的命令控制连接。客户端使用此连接向服务器发送命令,并从服务器接收命令结果。 - 数据连接:用于传送数据,例如传送一个文件。 3. 控制连接使用命令(以ASCII码形式)和响应(以ASCII码形式)传递信息,数据连接传递数据(以二进制形式)。 ### FTP会话的流程 1. 客户端向服务器的21端口发送一个SYN包(SYN=1),请求建立控制连接。 2. 如果服务器可以建立一个控制连接,则返回一个SYN+ACK包(SYN=1,ACK=1),否则返回一个RST包(RST=1)。 3. 如果客户端收到了SYN+ACK包,则返回一个ACK包(ACK=1),建立控制连接。 4. 客户端通过建立的控制连接向服务器发送用户名和密码,服务器验证后返回结果。 5. 如果验证成功,进入互动模式,客户端可以通过控制连接发送各种命令,服务器返回响应并处理相应命令。 6. 如果需要传输数据,则通过建立数据连接来传输数据。客户端向服务器发送PORT或PASV命令,请求建立数据连接。 7. 如果使用PORT命令,客户端告诉服务器其监听的IP地址和端口号,然后服务器尝试建立数据连接。如果使用PASV命令,服务器告诉客户端其监听的IP地址和端口号,然后客户端尝试建立数据连接。 8. 如果成功建立了数据连接,则通过该数据连接进行数据传输。 9. 数据传输完成后,关闭数据连接。 ## 实现方案 基于上面对FTP协议的理解,在实现FTP服务端时我们也需要为客户端提供一个21号端口的服务。当有客户端请求连接时,我们需要通过控制连接进行身份验证和交互处理;如果需要进行数据传输,则还需要为该客户端建立数据连接。 在实现这些功能时,我们需要考虑以下几个问题: - 需要为多个客户端提供服务。 - 每个客户端都有自己独立的控制连接和可能存在的数据连接。 - 每个客户端可能同时有多条命令需要处理。 针对上述问题,在设计代码结构时我们可以考虑如下方案: - 管理所有客户端的信息,并为每个客户端分配唯一标识ID。由于每个客户端可能同时存在多条命令需要处理,因此在管理客户端信息时也需要将每条待处理命令记录下来,并为其分配唯一标识ID。 - 当有新客户端请求连接时,创建一个新的控制连接,并为其分配唯一标识ID。 - 当收到新的命令时,将该命令与该客户端相关联,并为其分配唯一标识ID。如果该客户端存在其他未处理完成的命令,则将新收到的命令添加到该客户端未完成命令列表中;否则开始处理该新收到的命令。 - 当需要进行数据传输时,为该客户端创建一个新的数据连接,并为其分配唯一标识ID。 ## 程序结构 根据上面提出的实现方案,在程序结构设计时可以考虑如下几个类: ### CSocket 用于封装Windows Socket函数调用。 ### CCommand 表示一条待处理或正在处理中的FTP命令。 ### CConnection 表示一条已经建立好并且已经验证过身份的FTP控制或者数据连接。 ### CClientInfo 用于记录每个客户端相关信息。 ### CServer 实现FTP服务功能。 根据上面提出的程序结构,在实际代码实现中还需要考虑以下几点: - 尽量避免在同步函数中调用异步函数(如WSARecv),因为这样会导致死锁。因此,在CSocket中对所有异步函数进行了封装,并将这些异步函数中可能存在的回调函数放到了CServer中统一处理。 - 尽量避免在同步函数中执行耗时操作(如打开文件、读写文件等)。因此,在CSocket中对所有耗时操作进行了封装,并将这些耗时操作放到了CServer中统一处理。 ## 实现过程 ### 初始化阶段 #### 创建类对象并初始化变量 首先创建各个类对象并初始化变量: cpp // Server.cpp bool CServer::Init() { m_hListenThread = NULL; m_hAcceptThread = NULL; m_listenSocket.Init(21); InitializeCriticalSection(&m_csCommandList); return true; } #### 启动监听线程和接受线程 启动监听线程和接受线程: cpp // Server.cpp bool CServer::Start() { m_hListenThread = CreateThread(NULL, NULL, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)CServer::ListenThreadProc, this, 0, NULL); if (m_hListenThread == NULL) { Log("Create Thread Failed!"); return false; } m_hAcceptThread = CreateThread(NULL, NULL, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)CServer::AcceptThreadProc, this, 0, NULL); if (m_hAcceptThread == NULL) { Log("Create Thread Failed!"); return false; } return true; } #### 监听线程回调函数 监听线程负责监听21号网络端口是否有新请求到达: cpp // Server.cpp void WINAPI CServer::ListenThreadProc(LPVOID pParam) { CServer* server = (CServer*)pParam; while (true) { if (server->m_listenSocket.Listen() == SOCKET_ERROR) break; Sleep(100); } Log("Listen Failed!"); } #### 接受线程回调函数 接受线程负责接受新请求并创建新控制连接: cpp // Server.cpp void WINAPI CServer::AcceptThreadProc(LPVOID pParam) { CServer* server = (CServer*)pParam; while (true) { server->m_acceptSocket.Create(); if (server->m_acceptSocket.Accept(server->m_listenSocket) == SOCKET_ERROR) break; server->ProcessCommand(server->m_acceptSocket); Sleep(100); } Log("Accept Failed!"); } #### 处理新收到的控制连接请求 当接受线程接收到新请求后,会调用`ProcessCommand`方法来处理该请求: cpp // Server.cpp void CServer::ProcessCommand(CSocket& socket) { CConnection* connection = new CConnection(); connection->SetType(CConnection::CONNECTION_CONTROL); if (!connection->Init(socket)) { delete connection; return; } connection->SetHandle(&socket); int id = GetClientId(connection); if (id == -1) { connection->Close(); delete connection; #ifdef _DEBUG Log("Get Client ID Failed!"); #endif // _DEBUG return; } #ifdef _DEBUG Log("Get Client ID Succeed!"); #endif // _DEBUG if (!connection->Authenticate()) { #ifdef _DEBUG Log("Authenticate Failed!"); #endif // _DEBUG connection->Close(); delete connection; return; } #ifdef _DEBUG Log("Authenticate Succeed!"); #endif // _DEBUG connection->SetId(id); if (!connection->Start()) { #ifdef _DEBUG Log("Start Failed!"); #endif // _DEBUG connection->Close(); delete connection; return; } } 当调用`ProcessCommand`方法后,首先会创建一个新`CConnection`对象,并设置为控制类型。然后调用`Init`方法将控制套接字初始化到该对象中。然后调用`GetClientId`方法获取该对象所属客户端的唯一标识ID。 如果获取失败,则关闭该对象所关联套接字并释放内存空间;否则设置该对象所属ID并调用`Authenticate`方法进行身份验证。如果验证失败,则关闭该对象所关联套接字并释放内存空间;否则调用`Start`方法开始处理该对象上收到的所有FTP命令。 ##### 获取唯一标识ID方法 获取唯一标识ID方法会遍历所有已经存在的客户端信息(通过遍历所有已经存在且处于活跃状态的控制或者数据类型对象),找出最大ID值并加1作为新对象所属ID值: cpp // Server.cpp int CServer::GetClientId(CConnection* connection) { int id = -1; for (auto client : m_connectionList) { #ifdef _DEBUG Log("Check Client ID"); #endif // _DEBUG if (client->GetType() == connection->GetType()) continue; #ifdef _DEBUG Log("Client Type Differs"); #endif // _DEBUG if (client->GetStatus() == CConnection::STATUS_ACTIVE) id = std::max(id, client->GetId()); } return id + 1; } ##### 身份验证方法 身份验证方法会
