Thread: CSocket Problem

I've been trying to create a Client application that will connect to a server thru CSocket class... but i'm having problems on authenticating the connection.

I've downloaded several source code projects from the net, but none of them needed authentication (User name & Password )... most of them are simple Client / Server applications that only ask IP adress and port... can anyone explain me how to perform the authentication process betwen both... how do I get the message in my Client Application asking me for the user name (This would be a TCP application).

Thanks

Surely it depends on the protocol...

For example authentication for SMTP is different from POP3 and the same again for FTP.

Sorry for the incomplete information... the authentication protocol should be FTP. Can anyone pinpoint me how to do it ??? or redirect me to some source code that can help me understand how to do it ???

thanks..
