a few questions

[toadie D <to...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

This is great! finally, a 100% java based FTP/SSL Sever.

I am wondering whether the codebase is not in a release-able state due
to Apache licensing issue ? or is it just not stable enough yet for
testing/using? or both?

The event list looks great.  I think perhaps a few events such as
directory navigation/creation may also be nice to have.

Where can i find info how how event hooks are processed ? (scripts, POJO?)

Thanks in advance
T.

Glad you like it :-)

I think there are multiple reasons. First, we're in Apache Incubator 
which means that while we can do releases, we should probably be a bit 
careful about it.

Second, the code is currently undergoing some largish refactorings 
(primarily with the switch to using MINA for our socket handling).

Third, I would not yet consider our API stable. There might (and will) 
be changes to it.

Given these factors, I think the code is pretty stable and shouldn't 
cause you any major headaches. And if it does, please get back here and 
we'll help you out.

Agreed, the Ftplet interface is not yet perfect. Feel free to post 
patches if you got specific ideas.

Not completely sure I understand your question. The Ftplet documentation 
covers how you currently write an Ftplet
http://cwiki.apache.org/FTPSERVER/ftplet.html

if you don't find what you are looking for on that page, please ask 
again :-)
