How to program in qt4 with TcpSocket and TcpServer for impliementing a Ftp Server?

Easy, there is a lot of documentation that comes with Qt that covers basic QTcpSocket and QTcpServer usage:

Plus there is documentation about the FTP protocol all over the web.

What do you want to do, anyway? It might be a better idea to use an existing, proven FTP server and hook it to your application in most cases.

I guess that won't be of much help since it uses QFtp to act as a FTP client. If he wants to provide a FTP server, he'll have to write his own one or better use an existing library or daemon.
