Hi everybody, I'm a linux newbie and I need some help. I hope this question is not too stupid but I can't find any piece of info on the web. I want to develop a C code in which one I need to do a "ping" test ant then do FTP transfer. Some OS as VxWorks offers a library to do that (pingLib & ftpLib). Does Linux is able to give the same features? If not how can I achieve that goal? ps: there is the "system()" command but it is too restrictive. So any other idea?
