Filezilla is a mature FTP solution. You can refer it's code since it's an open source project.

IMO, better learn about the FTP specification and have a basic understanding of it. C++ is merely a programming language. You may have to use C++ to access the operating system services such as network and protocols.

If you're looking for a study purpose, there are some articles in the codeproject.

There are better experts than me, in the forums. Don't limit it for me. Ask you questions publically to get better answers. You can reach me through my twitter (@sarat), send direct message through (I'm not sure whether this option still avaliable in codeproject)

Solution 1

First step is to buy an FTP library, C++ has no support for that built in.

Solution 2

You may:

Read the FTP protocol specifications RFC 959 and develop, from scratch the compliant applications.
Have a look at free (or open source, depending on your needs) FTP programs, and make your own modifications.
Use a library as Christian already suggested.

The first step should be asking yourself why you feel the need to do it. There are so many mature and FREE packages out there that I would look for something else to do...

I think FileZilla is still free, and last time I checked, you could even get the source code for it.

EDIT---------------------

FileZilla should be on SourceForge. Google is your friend.
