FTP

From Hack Wars Wiki

General

An FTP application is used to do two things:

• transfer files to your Store Directory (for selling on your website)
• transfer files to your Public Directory (this directory can be used to share files with your friends)

You must have an FTP application installed to sell items in your website’s store. Like Attacking, Banking, and HTTP programs, an FTP program must be installed on a port and turned on before it will be functional. You do this using the Port Manager.

Setting a public FTP password

Make sure to set your public FTP password. This ensures that only your friends can access the files in your public FTP.

Successfully hacking an FTP port

If a player successfully hacks an opponent's FTP port (along with the regular options of peeking at code and being able to install their own malicious FTP application) they will be presented with the option of stealing a single file from the victim’s Public FTP directory.

These files can be resold at a profit, either through your own store, or to the game store at a fixed price. NPCs drop a random file from a drop table ranging from Low to Rare quality. These drops can potentially be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in compiling costs and allow you to use functions well beyond your current level.
