base framework for building FTP server

The original README of this project has been moved to HISTORY.md

TODO

• Implement Full RFC 959
• Implement RFC 2428
• Implement RFC 2228
• Implement RFC 3659
• Implement TLS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPS
• Fire more events to allow customizations: directory changes, file uploads, etc

known to work (or mostly work)

• Passive data connection establishment
• Non-passive data connection establishment
• CWD/CDUP - change working directory
• LIST - list files
• RETR - download

If a command is not listed, I probably haven't tested it yet.

Notes

Don't run node as root just so you can get access to the FTP port. We run our node FTP server as an unprivileged user and perform port-forwarding with iptables. The following should work for you as well:

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 21 -j REDIRECT --to-port 10000
