Gaurav,
We are doing something similar.
I created a subclass of org.apache.ftpserver.ftplet.UserManager and
declare it in my Spring FTP server config:
<ftp:server id="ftpServer" anon-enabled="false" max-anon-logins="-1">
<ftp:listeners>
.....// listener definition
</ftp:listeners>
<ftp:ftplets>
<ftp:ftplet name="uploadHandler">
<ref bean="uploadHandlerFtplet"/>
</ftp:ftplet>
</ftp:ftplets>
<ftp:user-manager>
<bean id="userManager"
class="com.marin.plugin.ftpserver.MarinPasswordAuthenticator">
.....(my constructor args)
</bean>
</ftp:user-manager>
</ftp:server>
The UserManager subclass deals with authenticating the incoming users
via the DB connection via the authenticate(Authentication
authentication) method.
I believe that it's cleaner to use the UserManager for authentication,
and then you can use the Ftplet methods to perform additional custom
tasks if necessary.
