Just a quick comment... Though it might be nice to use a container to base the FTP Server on, I also like and rely on the ability to embed the FTP server into my own application as well.
Sorry for not replying back yet on the SSL stuff. Too busy on work projects and I'm not sure yet how to "patch" any code changes.

Might be easly reusable While Tomcat can certainly provide a lot ideas for us, I find the Jetty architecture to be easier to grasp. Jetty also has a reputation of being very easy to embed, something I think is important for FtpServer. > Easy access for j2ee standards, datasources, JNDI > lookups, etc.. Agreed. I think we should aim for being easy to integrate with J2EE servers and participate in for example JTA transactions. > JMX: MBean - remote monitoring ? Yes, I think we should use JMX for remote configuration. That is, instead of letting our admin GUI edit the config files directly, it would connect to the server over JMX and the server then configures itself. What do you think? > Please do come with input.. :o) Interesting stuff! Please flesh out your ideas further so that we can discuss them in depth. /niklas
