- This was built for windows, as currently there is no simple non install FTP Server solution.
- On windows you do not need admin rights, only to allow traffic on ports <1024 through windows firewall
- You can select FTP folder location ( for now the config is not being saved after change in GUI )
- it keeps logged access in file
- It works on linux too, but for now you can run only ports 1024+ or you need to run it with sudo
- It also creates the folder from where it is run "C:\Temp\FTP" or the folder in cfg file
- Also on Linux it does not quit with buttons when FTP started, it must be killed, or
ctrl+c
when opened from terminal
pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --add-data "ftp.png;." --icon=ftp.png ftp_gui.py
- Quit from system tray does not work when daemon mod is ON
- Settings are not saved when changed in GUI to config, this would need to be changed prior starting the app
- The app works ok on Windows but for linux it has few flaws
- it creates folder "C:\Temp\FTP" in current directory if there is not other linux location in
ftp-config.cfg
already - it would require sudo to run on ports <1024 or you need to allow non sudo users to use port 21 ( port can be changed)
- when the app is started as daemon it will not be stopped from gui, it must be killed
- it creates folder "C:\Temp\FTP" in current directory if there is not other linux location in
