Yes, one of the most (if not the most) important goal with FtpServer is the be easily embeddable. My original reason for getting involved in the project is exactly what you're doing. All of the cases you describe are easily testable. > 2) Will the FTP server be included in the standard MINA? No, I don't think so. MINA is a framework and FtpServer is an implementation of a specific protocol built on top of MINA. However, FtpServer will be releasing in the same way as MINA (and all other Apache projects) so it should be usable on its own. > 3) Is their a road map for the FTP server? Right now the focus is on finishing up the refactoring to get it working better for embedding and in IoC frameworks. After that, the focus will be on stabilization and getting a 1.0 release out. As for FTP features, we pretty much support most there is in the actual FTP protocol already. So, after 1.0 I would hope for some work on integration with other projects, for example embedding FtpServer within Java EE appservers. /niklas
