API

Check out more examples here :)

// Uses the current working directory as the root
File root = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"));

// Creates a native file system
NativeFileSystem fs = new NativeFileSystem(root);

// Creates a noop authenticator, which allows anonymous authentication
NoOpAuthenticator auth = new NoOpAuthenticator(fs);

// Creates the server with the authenticator
FTPServer server = new FTPServer(auth);

// Start listening synchronously
server.listenSync(21);
