SolarOS 4.13.4 manual · job

ftpd

Unencrypted FTP file server for one exported folder. The job supports one client at a time and passive IPv4 data connections.

Usage:

job start ftpd <folder> [port] [--user USER --password PASSWORD]
job stop ftpd
job status ftpd

Examples:

job start ftpd /shared
job start ftpd /shared 2121 --user solaros --password local-secret

Notes:

• The default port is 21.
• Login is anonymous by default. Anonymous clients use anonymous or ftp as

the username; the supplied password is ignored.

• --user and --password must be supplied together. They provide plaintext

access control, not encryption. The password also remains in local shell history. Use the daemon only on a trusted network.

• FTP / is the exported folder. Normalized paths cannot walk above that

folder, and the export root itself cannot be deleted, replaced, or renamed.

• Supported operations include directory listing, download, upload, create and

remove directory, delete, rename, size, current directory, and passive-mode negotiation. Active mode and TLS are not supported.
