FTP server

This FTP Server is a pure .NET implementation with the following goals:

• Easy to use
• Extensible
• Virtual file system support
• User-defined authentication

Getting started

There is a quickstart tutorial available.

What does it look like?

// Setup dependency injection
var services = new ServiceCollection();

// use %TEMP%/TestFtpServer as root folder
services.Configure<DotNetFileSystemOptions>(opt => opt
    .RootPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "TestFtpServer"));

// Add FTP server services
// DotNetFileSystemProvider = Use the .NET file system functionality
// AnonymousMembershipProvider = allow only anonymous logins
services.AddFtpServer(builder => builder
    .UseDotNetFileSystem() // Use the .NET file system functionality
    .EnableAnonymousAuthentication()); // allow anonymous logins

// Configure the FTP server
services.Configure<FtpServerOptions>(opt => opt.ServerAddress = "127.0.0.1");

// Build the service provider
using (var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider())
{
    // Initialize the FTP server
    var ftpServerHost = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IFtpServerHost>();

    // Start the FTP server
    await ftpServerHost.StartAsync();

    Console.WriteLine("Press ENTER/RETURN to close the test application.");
    Console.ReadLine();

    // Stop the FTP server
    await ftpServerHost.StopAsync();
}

ASP.NET Core integration

You can also add the FTP server to your ASP.NET Core application by following the instructions in this quickstart tutorial for ASP.NET Core.
