Hey. I'm working on a program in C which will connect to a server on port 21 for FTP, and I'm having some trouble with the actual logging in process. First of all, do I need to have a Stream or D-gram socket? After setting up the right typ of socket, should I just send the text "USER uname" and "PASS password", or is there some sort of wierd crazy function i need?

FTP is a connection oriented protocol so use a stream socket. One you are connected you might receive some information from the server. But after that you can just send the USER command. Followed by the PASS command.
But you should read RFC 959 for the exact specifications of the FTP protocol.
