 ====== FTP Server ====== ====== FTP Server ======
  
 +The Synchronet FTP Server is a native server ([[http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/src/sbbs3/ftpsrvr.c|written in C]]) which supports the [[wp>File Transfer Protocol|FTP]] and [[wp>FTPS]] TCP protocols for file transfer.
 +
 +===== Anonymous Logins =====
 +So-called "Anonymous FTP" logins (client-login using the user-ID "anonymous", "ftp", or "guest") are supported when the BBS user database contains a "Guest" user account.
 +
 +Traditionally, the user's email address is given as the password during "anonymous FTP" logins. To block specific email addresses from being used in this manner, add the address(es) to your ''[[dir:text]]/email.can'' file.
 +
 +===== Sysop Access =====
 +
 +To login with system operator access, the user must login with a user account that
 +has a security level of 90 or higher and provide a password of "//<user-pass>//://<sys-pass>//" where //<user-pass>// is the user's personal password and //<sys-pass>// is the system password as configured in [[util:SCFG]]->System.
 +
 +A successful sysop login will generate a login message stating "Sysop access granted". 
 +
 +  230-Sysop access granted.
 +
 +Logging in with just a personal password will give the user/sysop normal (non-sysop) access.
 +
 +Sysop access allows the FTP user to mount local file systems and execute administrative commands via the FTP server.
 +
 +When logged-in with sysop access, the user has access to the following additional FTP commands:
 +  SMNT
 +  SITE EXEC
 +
 +==== Local File System Access ====  
 +
 +Local file system access is enabled by default. Local file system access can be disabled with the ''NO_LOCAL_FSYS'' ''Options'' flag in the ''[FTP]'' section of the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:sbbs.ini]]'' file or by un-checking the "Local File System" checkbox in the [[monitor:sbbsctrl|Synchronet Control Panel]]->FTP->Configure dialog.
 +
 +When local file system access is enabled, a user with sysop access can "mount" a local file system using the FTP ''CWD'' or ''XCWD'' commands to change to "local://<path>//" where //<path>// is the local file system directory to mount. An alternative method of mounting the local file system is to use the ''SMNT //<local-dir>//'' command. To re-mount (switch back to) the BBS file system, the ''SMNT bbs:'' command can be used or ''CWD''/''XCWD'' command with a path beginning with ''bbs:''.
 +
 +===== Configure =====
 +The Synchronet FTP server is configured via settings in the ''[[FTP]]'' section of the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:sbbs.ini]]'' file.

 +===== Aliases =====
 +You can create a list of file aliases that will appear in your FTP root 
 +directory for:
 +  * Quick and easy access to often downloaded user files
 +  * Static filenames that corresponds to a dynamically changing filenames
 +  * Download access to files on the local disk not in the BBS file database 
 +
 +Edit the file ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:ftpalias.cfg]]'' with a text editor ([[monitor:SBBSCTRL]]->FTP->Edit->Filename Aliases).
 +
 +The ''ftpalias.cfg'' file format is one file or directory alias per line, in the form:
 +  <alias>  <path>  [description]
 +  
 +The //<alias>// field is not case-sensitive and may **not** contain spaces. This is the filename that will appear in listing of your FTP root directory.
 +
 +The //<path>// field is either the full path and filename to a file on a
 +local file system (e.g. ''C:\DOCS\MYFILE.TXT'' or ''/docs/myfile.txt'') or a virtual path to a file in the
 +BBS file database. Virtual paths are specified as
 +  bbs://lib/dir/filename
 +  
 +where lib is the library short name, dir is the directory internal code and
 +filename is the actual filename of the referenced file (may be the long
 +filename, but may not contain spaces). 
 +
 +The //[description]// field is the optional description of the file that will be used in 
 +the dynamically generated Auto Index file (if you have this option enabled).
 +Descriptions of "hidden" indicate files or directories that are not be included in listings.
 +
 +Blank lines are ignored.
 +
 +Lines beginning with a semicolon ('';'') character are considered comments and are ignored.
 +
 +Example Alias:
 +  sbbs_for_dos.zip   bbs://main/sbbs/sbbs230b.zip   Current version for SBBS for DOS
