Hi,
in search of a Java FTP Application Server I just stumbled over FTPServer.
After downloading and installing the binaries I encountered the behaviour
that a client could connect to the ftp server but did not even get a login
prompt.
Stepping through the code I discovered the following snippet in
FtpServerSocketFactory:
public ServerSocket createServerSocket() throws Exception {
ServerSocket ssocket = null;
if(m_serverAddress == null) {
ssocket = new ServerSocket(m_port, 100);
}
else {
new ServerSocket(m_port, 100, m_serverAddress);
}
return ssocket;
}
After changing to:
public ServerSocket createServerSocket() throws Exception {
ServerSocket ssocket = null;
if(m_serverAddress == null) {
ssocket = new ServerSocket(m_port, 100);
}
else {
ssocket = new ServerSocket(m_port, 100, m_serverAddress);
}
return ssocket;
}
it worked like a charm.
Btw., I found a task in Jira concerning the ability to run FtpServer as
Windows Service.
The following worked for me, maybe somebody finds it useful:
- Download JavaService 2.0.6 (does not work with 2.0.5)
- Copy JavaService.exe to <Ftpserver>\bin-directory
- install Service using the following batch (of course, local paths would
have to be adapted, commandline parameters would have to be changed if
another configuration type should be used):
=====
SET FTPSERVER_HOME=C:\Programme\jakarta-ftpserver
SET FTPSERVER_LIB=%FTPSERVER_HOME%\common\lib
SET FTPSERVER_CLASSES=%FTPSERVER_HOME%\common\classes
SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Programme\j2sdk1.5.0_01
SET
SERVER_CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%FTPSERVER_CLASSES%;%FTPSERVER_LI
B%\commons-logging-1.0.3.jar;%FTPSERVER_LIB%\log4j-1.2.12.jar;%FTPSERVER_LIB
%\ftpserver-dev.jar;
FtpServerService.exe -uninstall JakartaFtpServer
FtpServerService.exe -install JakartaFtpServer
