mooftpserv is an FTP server library written in C# 2.0. Its main goal is to provide an FTP server implementation for Windows CE with .NET Compact Framework v3.5. It also works with .NET v2.0 and Mono 2.0.
It has been tested with FileZilla, Total Commander, GNOME Nautilus, Windows Explorer, Firefox and Chrome as clients.
This repository includes a small executable that can be directly used as a command-line FTP server.
mooftpserv.exe [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [-p|--port <port>] [-b|--buffer <kbsize>]
Options
- -h | --help Show the usage description
- -v | --verbose More verbose logging
- -p | --port TCP/IP server port on which to listen for new connections (default: 21)
- -b | --buffer Size of the per-session data connection buffer (in kilobytes, default: 64)
The FTP server itself is implemented in a library, so that it can be embedded into other applications. Create an instance of mooftpserv.Server and call the synchronous Run() method to start the server.
The server implements only basic FTP commands. The following commands are supported (at least in some limited fashion):
OPTS (only for OPTS UTF8 ON, which is always active anyway)
SYST QUIT USER PASS FEAT
TYPE PORT PASV
PWD CWD CDUP XPWD XCWD XCUP
MKD RMD RETR STOR DELE RNFR RNTO XMKD XRMD
MDTM SIZE
LIST NLST
STAT (only with a path as argument, where it acts like LIST, but over the control connection)
NOOP
FEAT reports the following supported features:
MDTM PASV SIZE TVFS UTF8
There are some options for customization when used as a library, made available as Properties of the Server class:
LocalEndPoint,LocalAddress,LocalPortto set the server address and port on which to listen for incoming connections (default: port 21, address 0.0.0.0 (or the first found non-loopback IP on Windows CE))BufferSizeto specify the size of the data connection buffer for each session (in kilobytes, default: 64)AuthHandlerto provide a handler for authenticating users and authorizing control and data connections (default:mooftpserv.DefaultAuthHandler, accepts username "anonymous" without password, allows all connections)FileSystemHandlerto provide a handler for file system access (default:mooftpserv.DefaultFileSystemHandler, implements and allows access to the real file system, on Unix starting at "/", on Windows CE starting at "", and on Windows NT starting with all available drives)LogHandlerto provide a handler for log output (default: null)
Timestamps are always UTC. The control connection always uses UTF8, and the LIST response does too.
One thread per control connection is used. Data connections also run in that thread, thus blocking their control connections.
Server-to-server transfers are supported, and enabled by default. They can be disabled or restricted by allowing only data connections from the same address as the control connection, which can be implemented with an IAuthHandler.
