This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in Xlink FTP Client 32 Version 3.01 that comes bundled with Omni-NFS Enterprise 5.2. When an overly long FTP server response is received by a client, arbitrary code may be executed.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/windows/ftp/xlink_client
msf exploit(xlink_client) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(xlink_client) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(xlink_client) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(xlink_client) > exploit
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
