SuppaFTP is an FTP and FTPS client library for Rust. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous interfaces and is intended to offer a broad implementation of FTP functionality for applications that need to communicate with FTP servers.
The project is not limited to use as a library. It also includes a command-line FTP client that exposes FTP and FTPS operations from the terminal, making the project useful as both a development component and a standalone transfer tool.
SuppaFTP supports a choice of TLS implementations rather than locking applications to a single stack. Its asynchronous API can likewise be used with different Rust runtimes.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- FTP and FTPS client support.
- Synchronous API for conventional Rust applications.
- Asynchronous APIs using Tokio or smol.
- Both passive and active FTP transfer modes.
- Choice of native-tls or rustls for TLS connections.
- Stream-oriented upload and download APIs.
- TransferStream abstraction for managing transfer completion and cleanup.
- Supports FTP commands including ABOR, APPE, REST, EPSV and EPRT.
- Built-in parser for Unix-style and DOS-style LIST output.
- Helpers for retrieving server welcome messages.
- Implements FTP feature negotiation.
- Implements extended passive and active mode support.
- Extensive error handling and automated test coverage.
- Can avoid mandatory C library bindings when using rustls.
- Ships with the separate suppaftp command-line client.
- The CLI can connect to both ordinary FTP and TLS-protected FTP servers.
