Does FubarDev allow non-anonymous authentication?

CalebOwusuMI commented 5 years ago

Hi!

Thanks for providing this library; it's really useful.

We'd like to mock an SFTP server using non-anonymous authentication. Is that possible with (the latest release of) FubarDev/FtpServer?

Best regards,

Caleb

I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

You can use the PAM authentication, but this requires .NET Core 3.0 (currently in preview 5)
You can always implement (and register) your own IMembershipProvider implementation for password-style authentication.
You can implement your own IAuthenticationMechanism
- When you return 234 (authenticated), then the user is authenticated
- When you return 334 (requested security mechanism okay) instead, then the FTP client needs to provide additional data. You may take a look at RFC 2228 for further information.

If you implement your own IAuthenticationMechanism, then you also have to call all IAuthorizationAction implementations.

BTW: This library only supports FTPS (FTP over SSL), not SFTP (SSH with FTP-like access).

PS: The first and third options are only available in the latest 3.0 RC version of the library.

EDIT: Third option added.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Ah, I should have clarified. This page states that only anonymous authentication is supported, but we'd like to mock an SFTP server.

You've answered my question, though; I wasn't aware that this library doesn't support SFTP.

Thanks again.
