Real World .NET Applications consists of six significant .NET applications, each representing one of the major application types: a custom Windows control, an XML document editor, a Pac-Man-style game, a drawing application, an FTP client application, and an ASP.NET online store.
Each application or component is thoroughly documented, starting from coverage of the underlying principles through the architecture and design, and finally the actual implementation of the application.
This chapter starts by presenting a general overview of sockets and continues with FTP and the project itself. In this chapter, you will find the following sections:

This chapter starts by presenting a general overview of sockets and continues with FTP and the project itself. In this chapter, you will find the following sections:
- “Working with Sockets”: This section introduces sockets and explains how to use the System.Net.Sockets.Socket class and other related classes for network programming.
- “Understanding FTP”: This section discusses the protocol for file transfer as specified in RFC959.
- “Creating an FTP Application Step by Step”: This section covers a simple console application that is similar to the ftp.exe program included in the UNIX/Linux or Windows operating systems. This serves as an introduction to the chapter’s FTP project.
- “Implementing the Project”: This section contains a detailed discussion on the FTP client application with a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
