Overview

The FTP server provides two file systems by default:

• System.IO-based file system
• Google Drive-based file system

The System.IO-based file system is usually what you want and the Google Drive-based file system is a proof-of-concept.

System.IO-based file system

This file system just uses the operating systems underlying file system and serves it to the user.

Configuration

Here is an example of a configuration:

services.Configure<DotNetFileSystemOptions>(cfg => {
    cfg.RootPath = "/your/root/path";
});

You can also configure the following:

• Usage of the user ID as subdirectory
• Is deletion of non-empty directories allowed?
