FTP Server

An FTP server can be enabled to provide FTP access to your workspace directory. This is useful for legacy applications or tools that require FTP connectivity.

Setup

Enable the FTP server during setup:

dev setup

If you've already set up your environment:

mkdir -p conf/ftp
dev rebuild

Configuration

The FTP server provides access to your workspace directory at /data.

Connection Details

  • Host: localhost
  • Port: 21 (default FTP port)
  • Protocol: FTP (not SFTP)

Credentials

FTP credentials depend on the FTP server configuration. Check the FTP container build for specific authentication settings:

cat build/dist/ftp/Dockerfile

Usage

FTP Clients

You can connect using any FTP client:

  • FileZilla
  • WinSCP
  • Command-line FTP
  • Your IDE's built-in FTP

Command-Line FTP

Connect via command line:

ftp localhost

Security Note

FTP transmits data in plain text, including credentials. This FTP server is intended for development environments only.

For production-like workflows, consider using:

  • SFTP instead of FTP
  • Direct file mounting
  • rsync over SSH

Troubleshooting

Check if the FTP server is running:

dev ps | grep ftp

View FTP server logs:

dev logs ftp

Test FTP connectivity:

ftp localhost

If you cannot connect, ensure the FTP configuration marker exists:

ls conf/ftp
