Description

The FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Server as the name implies serves files using the FTP protocol.

The server has three main configuration options:

• The types of listeners (Nonsecure TCP or Secure TCP)
• The backing file system
• The security provider.

Samples

This is the minimal code needed to create a FTP server:

In this case a server that listens on port 21, servers up data from c:\temp, and allows anyone to access it

FtpServer server = new FtpServer();
server.Listeners.Add(new NonsecureTcpListener(FtpServer.DEFAULT_NONSECURE_PORT));
server.FileSystem = new DiskFileSystem("c:\\temp");
server.SecurityProvider = new OpenSecurityProvider();
server.Start();
// ...
server.Stop();
