I am looking for a super-simple, super-INsecure, super-small FTP server for my embedded PowerPC Linux project. Most FTP servers have too much security for my use case, which is connectivity via a cross-over cable. What I want is read/write access to the entire file system with or without a password in an easy-to-install, cross-compilable package. Any ideas?
What I've tried so far: I've cross-compiled wu_ftpd but I'm having a hard time running the binary on the board. strace isn't forthcoming with the problem, though I have a few clues. The binary simply exits without any output. I would *like* to use wu, but am not encouraged thus far. I also tried to cross-compile ProFTPd (which I very much like on x86), but its build system compiles and runs a program as part of the build process, which is a big no-no for cross-compiling for semi-obvious reasons. After hacking the configure script, I got a bit further but soon realized that it was a dead-end, at least for now. I would *really* like a simple C++ FTP server class (or set of C functions) that I could just embed (no pun intended) in my embedded application, but the only one I've found on the web (CFtpServer) just sucks. In the mean time, I'm having a great time trying out all this weird stuff, and playing with embedded Linux is just plain fun. Thanks in advance. --Dave /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
