Thanks for your answer Niklas. I though that it wouldn't be easy, but it now seems miles away ;) I didn't get so in detail with the FTP protocol, but in fact that it doesn't support namebased virtual hosts (that what I need) I have to find another way.
To use many IP adresses doesn't solve the problem, same with different ports... (think of 40 applications and websites on a single machine) So I think I have to build a user manager that is able to differentiate the multiple hosts and authenticate against the correct database (something like "<username>@<host>" as user name or something else). I appreciate your work and maybe I can contribute some code if I get deeper into it. Thanks a lot! 2009/5/24 Niklas Gustavsson <[email protected]> > On Sun, May 24, 2009 at 11:38 AM, Torsten Sauer > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I started to integrate the ftp server into our own application server and > > I'm searching for an option to support virtual hosts.
