rest-ftp-proxy v0.1.0

##REST FTP Proxy

This runs a local FTP server (on localhost) that will communicate with a remote web server over HTTP/REST. This allows you to upload/download your files using your favorite FTP client even when the remote host doesn't support FTP.

To use it, you must deploy the endpoint file (see examples/endpoint.php) to your remote host and supply the url to this endpoint when starting the local FTP proxy.

Note: this tool is built with Node.js and is installed via npm so make sure to have Node installed.

###Installation:

npm install rest-ftp-proxy

###Usage:

rest-ftp proxy [--port 2121] [--host 127.0.0.1] http://my-site.example.com/endpoint.php

###Connecting over FTP

Open your favorite FTP client, for instance FileZilla and create a new connection with the following details:

• Host: 127.0.0.1
• Port: 2121
• Username: {endpoint-username}
• Password: {endpoint-password}

The username/password is hard-coded in the endpoint file (see examples/endpoint.php) or can be specified as an environment variable on the server.

Todo:

I'd like to get this working with ExpanDrive to mount remote site as a local directory. To do so, I need to implement ranges for both upload and download.

Have fun.
