firetrap

Firetrap helps you create modern, safe and extensible FTP servers in Rust.

Because of its plugable authentication and storage backends (e.g. local filesystem, Google Buckets) it's more flexible than traditional FTP servers and a perfect match for the cloud.

It is currently under heavy development and not yet recommended for production use. API MAY BREAK

API Documentation

Prerequisites

You'll need Rust 1.31 or higher to build firetrap. There are no runtime dependencies besides the OS and libc.

Getting started

If you've got Rust and cargo installed, create your project with

cargo new my_project

Then add firetrap to your project's dependencies in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
firetrap = "0.1"

Now you're ready to write your server! Add the following to src/main.rs:

extern crate firetrap;

fn main() {
  let server = firetrap::Server::with_root(std::env::temp_dir());
  server.listen("127.0.0.1:2121");
}

You can now run your server with cargo run and connect to localhost:2121 with your favourite FTP client :)
