nodeftpd - FTP server made by Node.js

Since the FTP server sends the password in plaintext, its use is less preferable for security reasons (it is fine if it is SFTP). For that reason, although it is not being used much now, it continues to be used on many servers.

It is advantageous that there are many libraries and client software in only the old protocol. Then, try using nodeftpd when launching a new FTP server.

How to use nodeftpd

nodeftpd is an FTP server created on node. It is a library, and when you run the script in the sample it will act as a normal FTP server.

Samples do not authenticate, but here you can easily use your own LDAP server and integrate with other authentication systems.

Since nodeftpd also supports TLS, you do not need to exchange passwords in plaintext. You can further expand it with scripts, so you can create an FTP server that matches your workflow.

nodeftpd is node / JavaScript open
