This FTP server is a gateway between old-school FTP devices and modern cloud based file systems, using the afero's Fs interface and acting as a reference implementation of the ftpserverlib.

At the current stage, supported backend are:

And with those are supported common parameters to switch them to read-only, enable login access, or use a temporary directory file (see doc).

Features ​

FTP protocol ​

These features are brought by ftpserverlib itself:

  • Uploading and downloading files
  • Directory listing (LIST + MLST)
  • File and directory deletion and renaming
  • TLS support (AUTH + PROT)
  • File download/upload resume support (REST)
  • Complete driver for all the above features
  • Passive socket connections (EPSV and PASV commands)
  • Active socket connections (PORT command)
  • Small memory footprint
  • Only relies on the standard library except for:
  • Supported extensions:
    • AUTH - Control session protection
    • AUTH TLS - TLS session
    • PROT - Transfer protection
    • EPRT/EPSV - IPv6 support
    • MDTM - File Modification Time
    • SIZE - Size of a file
    • REST - Restart of interrupted transfer
    • MLST - Simple file listing for machine processing
    • MLSD - Directory listing for machine processing

Getting started ​

Get it ​

Download it ​

Fetch a binary from the latest release and run it.

Build & run it locally ​

bash
go install github.com/fclairamb/ftpserver@main

ftpserver &

Run it with docker ​

There's also a containerized version of the server (31MB, based on alpine).

sh
# Creating a directory
mkdir -p files

# Starting the sample FTP server
docker run --rm -d -p 2121-2130:2121-2130 -v $(pwd)/files:/tmp -v $(pwd):/app fclairamb/ftpserver

Run it with docker compose ​

yml
# docker-compose.yml

version: '3.3'
services:
  ftpserver:
    ports:
      - '2121-2130:2121-2130'
    volumes:
      - ./files:/tmp
      - .:/app
    image: fclairamb/ftpserver
sh
docker-compose up -d

Test it ​

This is a quick way to see if it's working correctly:

sh
# Download some file
[ -f kitty.jpg ] || (curl -o kitty.jpg.tmp https://placekitten.com/2048/2048 && mv kitty.jpg.tmp kitty.jpg)

# Upload it to the server
curl -v -T kitty.jpg ftp://test:test@localhost:2121/

# Download it back
curl ftp://test:test@localhost:2121/kitty.jpg -o kitty2.jpg

# Compare it
diff kitty.jpg kitty2.jpg

Config file ​

If you don't create a ftpserver.json file, one will be created for you.

Here is a sample config file:

      }
   ]
}

You can generate the TLS key pair files with the following command:

bash
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:4096 -x509 -sha256 -days 365 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout key.pem
