This is a very basic implementation of an FTP client.
It implements only active mode FTP, so unless you work with some old server setup, please consider using another library.
Inspired by https://github.com/mscdex/node-ftp. Use that for more common passive mode setups.
Create a client object first:
var FTPClient = require('ftpclient');
var client = new FTPClient({
host: "192.168.1.123",
user: 'user',
pass: 'pass',
client: "192.168.1.88",
debug: false
});Then you can perform one of the basic actions:
- Downloading a file
client.download(filename, (error, contents) => {
if (error) {
// failure
} else {
// success, process contents
}
})- Uploading data
client.upload(filename, data, error => {
if (error) {
// failure
} else {
// success
}
})- Listing directory
client.list(directory, (error, list) => {
if (error) {
// failure
} else {
// success
}
})- Tested on vsftpd v2.2.2 and node.js v6.9.3.
- Calling multiple requests simultaneously on the same client object is not supported.
- There are not external necessary dependencies to run this library.
