-----------------------------------------

Hello Arun, 

 This is great news, and you're right a management module (I wasn't familiar with the  'MFT' term , cool to know) is something we are lacking.  Incubator versions of FtpServer bundled a   ftpserver-admin-gui - it has been discontinued and it was far less ambitious than what you're thinking of,  but looking at it might be of some help.

  If you find any difficulty, don't hesitate on requesting any improvement in FtpServer that you may in order to implement this (Actually, for any improvement you can think of :-) ).  Besides, you might want to open a thread in the mailing list if you need any ideas or feedback on your work. As an example, my initial approach for this was to use JMX for this, but I'm not so sure right now.

> Feature: Managed File Transfer Module for the FTP Server
> Hello,
> I am introducing Apache FtpServer to our enterprise to kick our COTS product out. 
> I think managed file transfer module/feature will act as catalyst for any FTP server product adoption. Now that the API is sold and stable, it is time to take the product to the next level. I personally think building an intuitive and simple MFT module will greatly benefit the adoption.
> And that's exactly what we are doing.  I hope in another couple of months I can submit my work to you guys.
> Here are is the high level Synopsys.
>  - A admin web interface to the FTP Server so that ftp admin(s) on the fly make necessary changes to the configurations and to see current transfers (Ease of use for administrator)
>  - Allow an employee or user within the enterprise to create an account and also allow the user to grant necessary privileges to share the file with others. (Shareability)
> - Allow users to setup necessary notification on uploads, downloads, failures, pending pickup, etc. (Automated transfers)
> - Allow users to report on past uploads, downloads, retries, etc. (SOX compliance!)
> Though we can do many other things on this front, I would start here (Thoughtful reduction)
> I am new to this project and I hope I make sense. 
> Sincerely
> --Arun
