Starting out

[cdrips]

Does anyone know any good sites to start out programming some scripts for ioftpd. I know a basic amount of C/C++, the problem I'm having is I have no idea where to get started and what I should be looking for. How would I interface c programs with ioftpd and all that?

It really depends what you're going to code :) Simple applications may use !-commands while more complicated should use shared memory.

you could try to start by analyzing code provided by mouton here

this can be a good start as this source is quite understandable.

Thanks for the replies. I was actually going to attempt to make a MP3 style script where they have sorting by genre and artist and whatnot, but I was gonna do this for movies from iMDB so it would sort by rating/genre and other stuff. I will analyze that code. O, another question is, what are some compilers I should look into? Any good free ones, or should I try something big like Visual C++?

Visual C++ has the best debugger available.. :)
