ftp client/server for asyncio (http://aioftp.readthedocs.org)

.. _GitHub: https://github.com/aio-libs/aioftp

Features

• Simple.
• Extensible.
• Client socks proxy via siosocks <https://github.com/pohmelie/siosocks>_ (pip install aioftp[socks]).

Goals

• Minimum usable core.
• Do not use deprecated or overridden commands and features (if possible).
• Very high level api.

Client use this commands: USER, PASS, ACCT, PWD, CWD, CDUP, MKD, RMD, MLSD, MLST, RNFR, RNTO, DELE, STOR, APPE, RETR, TYPE, PASV, ABOR, QUIT, REST, LIST (as fallback)

Server support this commands: USER, PASS, QUIT, PWD, CWD, CDUP, MKD, RMD, MLSD, LIST (but it's not recommended to use it, cause it has no standard format), MLST, RNFR, RNTO, DELE, STOR, RETR, TYPE ("I" and "A"), PASV, ABOR, APPE, REST

This subsets are enough for 99% of tasks, but if you need something, then you can easily extend current set of commands.

Server benchmark

Compared with pyftpdlib <https://github.com/giampaolo/pyftpdlib>_ and checked with its ftpbench script.

Getting started

Client example

.. code-block:: python

import asyncio
import aioftp


async def get_mp3(host, port, login, password):
    async with aioftp.Client.context(host, port, login, password) as client:
        for path, info in (await client.list(recursive=True)):
            if info["type"] == "file" and path.suffix == ".mp3":
                await client.download(path)


async def main():
    tasks = [
        asyncio.create_task(get_mp3("server1.com", 21, "login", "password")),
        asyncio.create_task(get_mp3("server2.com", 21, "login", "password")),
        asyncio.create_task(get_mp3("server3.com", 21, "login", "password")),
    ]
    await asyncio.wait(tasks)

asyncio.run(main())

Server example

.. code-block:: python

import asyncio
import aioftp


async def main():
    server = aioftp.Server([user], path_io_factory=path_io_factory)
    await server.run()

asyncio.run(main())

Or just use simple server

.. code-block:: shell

python -m aioftp --help
