## Introduction ๐
SuppaFTP is the main FTP/FTPS client library for Rust, with both support for sync/async programming and for all the FTP protocol features. It is a fork of the original ftp library "[rust-ftp](https://github.com/mattnenterprise/rust-ftp)", but since the original library is currently unmaintained, I decided to keep working on this library by myself. Currently, I consider myself as the only maintainer of this project, indeed I've already added some features to the library and improved it with better error handling and test units.
### Main differences between SuppaFTP and rust-ftp ๐ค
- Replaced OpenSSL with **native-tls** or **rustls** as you prefer ๐
- Added methods to work with streams (e.g. `put_with_stream`) โฌ๏ธ
- suppaftp supports **Active mode**
- Added `get_welcome_msg` method ๐
- Supports for both **sync/async** rust ๐
- Supports for more commands ๐
- ABOR
- APPE
- REST
- EPSV
- EPRT
- Some extra features, such as the **LIST** command output parser
- Implementation of [RFC 2428](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2428.html)
- Implementationb of [RFC 2389](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2389)
- Removed deprecated statements โฐ๏ธ
- Better error handling ๐
- Added test units keeping an eye on code coverage ๐

## Get started ๐
To get started, first add **suppaftp** to your dependencies:
```toml
suppaftp = "^6"
```
### Features
#### SSL/TLS Support
If you want to enable **support for FTPS**, you must enable the `native-tls` or `rustls` feature in your cargo dependencies, based on the TLS provider you prefer.
```toml
suppaftp = { version = "^6", features = ["native-tls"] }
# or
suppaftp = { version = "^6", features = ["rustls"] }
```
> ๐ก If you don't know what to choose, `native-tls` should be preferred for compatibility reasons.
> โ If you want to link libssl statically, enable feature `native-tls-vendored`
#### Async support
If you want to enable **async** support, you must enable `async` feature in your cargo dependencies.
```toml
suppaftp = { version = "^6", features = ["async"] }
```
> โ ๏ธ If you want to enable both **native-tls** and **async** you must use the **async-native-tls** feature โ ๏ธ
> โ ๏ธ If you want to enable both **rustls** and **async** you must use the **async-rustls** feature โ ๏ธ
> โ If you want to link libssl statically, enable feature `async-native-tls-vendored`
#### Deprecated methods
If you want to enable deprecated methods of FTPS, please enable the `deprecated` feature in your cargo dependencies.
This feature enables these methods:
- `connect_secure_implicit()`: used to connect via implicit FTPS
#### Logging
By default, the library will log if there is any `log` crate consumer on the user implementation.
Logging can be if preferred, disabled via the `no-log` feature.
### Examples ๐
```rust
use std::str;
use std::io::Cursor;
use suppaftp::FtpStream;
fn main() {
// Create a connection to an FTP server and authenticate to it.
let mut ftp_stream = FtpStream::connect("127.0.0.1:21").unwrap();
let _ = ftp_stream.login("username", "password").unwrap();
// Get the current directory that the client will be reading from and writing to.
println!("Current directory: {}", ftp_stream.pwd().unwrap());
// Change into a new directory, relative to the one we are currently in.
let _ = ftp_stream.cwd("test_data").unwrap();
// Retrieve (GET) a file from the FTP server in the current working directory.
let data = ftp_stream.retr_as_buffer("ftpext-charter.txt").unwrap();
println!("Read file with contents\n{}\n", str::from_utf8(&data.into_inner()).unwrap());
// Store (PUT) a file from the client to the current working directory of the server.
let mut reader = Cursor::new("Hello from the Rust \"ftp\" crate!".as_bytes());
let _ = ftp_stream.put_file("greeting.txt", &mut reader);
println!("Successfully wrote greeting.txt");
// Terminate the connection to the server.
let _ = ftp_stream.quit();
}
```
#### Ftp with TLS (native-tls)
```rust
use suppaftp::{NativeTlsFtpStream, NativeTlsConnector};
use suppaftp::native_tls::{TlsConnector, TlsStream};
fn main() {
let ftp_stream = NativeTlsFtpStream::connect("test.rebex.net:21").unwrap();
// Switch to the secure mode
let mut ftp_stream = ftp_stream.into_secure(NativeTlsConnector::from(TlsConnector::new().unwrap()), "test.rebex.net").unwrap();
ftp_stream.login("demo", "password").unwrap();
// Do other secret stuff
assert!(ftp_stream.quit().is_ok());
}
```
#### Ftp with TLS (rustls)
```rust
use std::str;
use std::io::Cursor;
use std::sync::Arc;
use suppaftp::{RustlsFtpStream, RustlsConnector};
use suppaftp::rustls::ClientConfig;
fn main() {
let mut root_store = rustls::RootCertStore::empty();
root_store.add_server_trust_anchors(webpki_roots::TLS_SERVER_ROOTS.0.iter().map(|ta| {
rustls::OwnedTrustAnchor::from_subject_spki_name_constraints(
ta.subject,
ta.spki,
ta.name_constraints,
)
}));
let config = ClientConfig::builder()
.with_safe_defaults()
.with_root_certificates(root_store)
.with_no_client_auth();
// Create a connection to an FTP server and authenticate to it.
let config = Arc::new(rustls_config());
let mut ftp_stream = RustlsFtpStream::connect("test.rebex.net:21")
.unwrap()
.into_secure(RustlsConnector::from(Arc::clone(&config)), "test.rebex.net")
.unwrap();
// Terminate the connection to the server.
let _ = ftp_stream.quit();
}
```
#### Going Async
```rust
use suppaftp::{AsyncNativeTlsFtpStream, AsyncNativeTlsConnector};
use suppaftp::async_native_tls::{TlsConnector, TlsStream};
let ftp_stream = AsyncNativeTlsFtpStream::connect("test.rebex.net:21").await.unwrap();
// Switch to the secure mode
let mut ftp_stream = ftp_stream.into_secure(AsyncNativeTlsConnector::from(TlsConnector::new()), "test.rebex.net").await.unwrap();
ftp_stream.login("demo", "password").await.unwrap();
// Do other secret stuff
assert!(ftp_stream.quit().await.is_ok());
```
## Built-in CLI client ๐ฅ๏ธ
SuppaFTP comes also with a built-in command-line FTP client. This CLI application provides all the commands to interact with a remote FTP server and supports FTPS too. You can also use it as a reference to implement your project. You can find it in the `cli/` directory.
You can simply install as any other rust application via **Cargo**:
```sh
cargo install suppaftp-cli
suppaftp --version
```
