Configuration

This page describes how to configure thinFTP for different use cases.

Basic Configuration

The server can be configured through constructor parameters:

from thinftp.server import ThinFTPServer

server = ThinFTPServer(
    host='0.0.0.0',          # Bind to all interfaces
    port=2121,               # Custom port
    root_dir='/var/ftp',     # FTP root directory
    max_connections=10,      # Maximum concurrent connections
    timeout=300              # Connection timeout in seconds
)

Logging Configuration

Configure logging levels and output:

from thinftp.logger import setup_logger

# Setup logger with custom level
logger = setup_logger(
    name='thinftp',
    level='DEBUG',
    log_file='ftp_server.log'
)

server = ThinFTPServer(logger=logger)

Security Considerations

Warning

thinFTP is designed for development and educational purposes. For production use, consider additional security measures:

• Use proper authentication

• Enable SSL/TLS encryption

• Implement access controls

• Regular security audits
