FTP Server

[michele.simionato]

What's the simplest way to write an FTP Server in Python?
A short research on the newsgroup and on the Cookbook did not
bring out anything relevant (but I hear a little voice in the
back of my head saying Twisted, Twisted! ...)

If you're after a simple FTP server, have a look at medusa.

Uhm ... Medusa does not seem actively maintained nowadays.

AFAIK, it's maintained to the extent, that if you find bugs/enhance it
and let the medusa-dev list know, it more than likely will get fixed/added.

For what it's worth, I have a medusa-based FTP server running on Linux
(daemon) and Win32 (service), without any problems at all.

Do you have a code snippet/pointer so I have an idea of how to use it?

Michele -

Listen to your inner voice

If simple is all you want, try twisted. You can use mktap to create a
simple ftp server and be ready to serve in a few minutes. And if you
are upto it, get buried in the documents and you can customize your ftp
server.

If you are looking for something simpler but not asynchronous, I found
this at the Vault called pyFTPDrop, which is aimed at *NIX.

PS: I am sure Medusa is fairly straightforward too, but I have no
experience with it.
