Here, Ive created a basic standalone FTP server in Python thats typically intended for another project. However, since this is quite "basic," I thought of sharing it with all of you.
1.) Download the file and place the Python file in a directory of your choice.
2.) You need to install the Python packages first to run the file.
- Commands to Install the Packets and Python on Linux:
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install python3.8
sudo apt install python3-pyftpdlib
3.) If you have installed everything, open the ftpserver.py
file and edit the additional details Comment with #
4.) Now everything should be ready and working. You can start the FTPServer with the command: python3 ftpserver.py
Now you can connect using a program like "WinSCP" or "FileZilla" Please remember to set the settings in the FTP program to "FTP" and not "SFTP" or something else.
Note
If there are any problems, please reach out here or on Discord. (Discord: mambuzrrr). The meaning of "elradfmw" inside the code indicates that the user has the permissions: execute, list, read, append, delete, full controll (inside path), modfiy & Write.
Tip
If you want to keep your FTPServer running continuously, you can go to the directory where the ftpserver.py
file is located (using Putty). Then, you can open a new terminal with screen -S terminalname
and execute the file with python3 ftpserver.py
. You can exit the terminal with CTRL+A+D
(dont worry, it continues running). To return to the terminal, use the command screen -R terminalname
.
