Thank you both Dave and Bastian,

This does indeed seem like a straightforward and intuitive solution!
I'm working with a quick test and it seems to fit my needs perfectly.

Best regards,

Hi Joakim,

Yes, thats possible, but not within the Ftplet implementation.

You can implement org.apache.ftpserver.ftplet.FileSystemManager into your application and use this as an interface for your application data.
All you need to do is to specify it in the configuration file, e.g.

<file-system-manager>
  <class>com.myApp.myFtpFileSystemManager</class>
</file-system-manager>

Heres the FtpFileSystemManager API:

Hello!

I'm looking into using the impressive Apache FTP Server as a facade to a virtual file system within an application we're currently developing. The idea is to have the FTP server access the virtual files through a service layer, as a kind of back door to the application data.

The Ftplets seem to allow hooking into some general events, but is it also possible to hook such things as "onFileListing" or implementing a custom filemanager?

Any pointer towards where to start looking for a sollution would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Joakim Back
