About
=====

Python FTP server library provides a high-level portable interface to easily
write very efficient, scalable and asynchronous FTP servers with Python. It is
the most complete `RFC-959`_ FTP server implementation available for `Python`_
programming language.

Features
========

- Extremely **lightweight**, **fast** and **scalable** (see
  `why <https://github.com/giampaolo/pyftpdlib/issues/203>`__ and
  `benchmarks`_).
- Uses **sendfile(2)** (see `pysendfile <https://github.com/giampaolo/pysendfile>`__)
  system call for uploads (Linux only).
- Uses ``epoll()`` / ``kqueue()`` / ``select()`` to handle concurrency
  asynchronously.
- ...But can optionally skip to a `multiple thread / process`_ model (as in:
  you'll be free to block or use slow filesystems).
- Portable: entirely written in pure Python.
- Supports **FTPS** (`RFC-4217`_), **IPv6** (`RFC-2428`_), **Unicode** file
  names (`RFC-2640`_), **MLSD/MLST** commands (`RFC-3659`_).
- Support for virtual users and virtual filesystem.
- Flexible system of "authorizers" able to manage both "virtual" and
  "real" users on on both
  `UNIX <https://pyftpdlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html#unix-ftp-server>`__
  and
  `Windows <https://pyftpdlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html#windows-ftp-server>`__.

Performances
============

Despite being written in an interpreted language, pyftpdlib has transfer rates
comparable or superior to common UNIX FTP servers written in C. It usually
tends to scale better (see `benchmarks`_) because whereas vsftpd and proftpd
use multiple processes to achieve concurrency, pyftpdlib only uses one (see
`the C10K problem`_).

Command line usage
==================

.. code-block:: sh

    $ python3 -m pyftpdlib --write
    RuntimeWarning: write permissions assigned to anonymous user.
      self._check_permissions(username, perm)
