Does Apache FTPServer support AA against OS (Windows or Unix)

Hi there,

 

I'm wondering if I can use Apache FTPServer to login into a system as a
valid OS user (such as a Unix user), and upload a file to a target file
location which is this user's privileged location. I guess we understand
this requires the authentication/authorization on the server's OS
system.

 

Thanks,

We do not support this out of the box, but I would think that writing
a JPAM (http://jpam.sourceforge.net/) based UserManager implementation
should be pretty straight forward. Not sure of how you can get the
user home folder with JPAM though.
