Apache FtpServer

Apache FtpServer was first created as a subproject in the Apache MINA networking framework, but it can now also be used as a standalone, embeddable FTP server.

The server supports resumable FTP transfers, user accounts, anonymous logins, virtual directions, idle time detection, bandwidth limitations, custom feedback messages, and both upload and download operations.

It will also handle both ASCII and binary data transfer operations, while also taking into account the appropriate user read/write permissions.

Apache FtpServer is also cross-platform tested and will work on all major operating systems.
