mod_ftp is a FTP Protocol module to serve httpd content over the FTP protocol (whereever the HTTP protocol could also be used). It provides both RETR/REST retrieval and STOR/APPE upload, using the same user/permissions model as httpd (so it shares the same security considerations as mod_dav plus mod_dav_fs).

mod_ftp 0.9.2 is in beta, and isn't identified as ready for production use. You can get the beta source from your local mirror

Development of mod_ftp can be followed through the Subversion repositories. For public access you can use :

% svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/mod_ftp/trunk/ mod_ftp

The ftp documentation starting page and the mod_ftp reference page will get you started.

See the README-FTP file distributed with the module's source code for additional build and installation notes.

Discussions of mod_ftp take place on the main HTTPD development mailing list.

• dev@httpd.apache.org - development (archives).
• cvs@httpd.apache.org - svn commit logs for httpd, including mod_ftp (archives).

mod_ftp was created by Covalent in 2001, granted to the ASF and entered incubation in 2005, and was graduated as a subproject of the HTTP Server Project in 2007.
