Python FTP daemon is a versatile, cross-platform and cost-free software that can enable file transfer operations via the FTP protocol. Its features include support for Linux, Mac, and Windows, user groups, and regular expressions.
Pyftpd is a reliable software that is perfect for users who do not require any special rights to start. It can work under a normal user account without any problems. This software has a modular design, which means there are several different authentication schemes possible. Some of the most notable ones include anonymous user authentication, authentication from the internal database of users (virtual users, independent of the operating system users), and authentication against PAM[1].
One of the most impressive features of pyftpd is its own permission modules that allow it to pinpoint user permissions down to a simple file and simple FTP operation. Additionally, pyftpd uses Python threads to perform tasks. If your Python interpreter was compiled without thread support, the software will use forking instead, with limited functionality. As a result, limiting the number of simultaneously logged users and some other options won't work as expected. However, if neither threads nor forks are available, pyftpd can serve one connection at a time.
Overall, pyftpd is an excellent software that is highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable FTP server. Its modular design and powerful permission modules make it perfect for businesses and individuals who require a high level of security and control over their files.
