Hi, I am done with writing the code for connecting, downloading and uploading files to the FTP,FTPS and SFTP servers.I have a FTP server for testing the FTP code. But i don't have FTPS and SFTP servers. Can any one suggest me FTPS and SFTP open or free servers for testing my code? I found this site for FTPS "ftp.secureftp-test.com ", but it supports only downloading files. I need to test uploading also.

We run an open FTP/FTPS server ftp.rebex.net (username: "anonymous", password: "guest"), but it only supports downloading as well at the moment (we don't have any SFTP server, unfortunately).

To support upload as well, we would have to add some barriers against people misusing the server for their own purposes, which is more complicated than it sounds.

So if you need a test server, my recommendation would be to install FileZilla Server for FTP and FTPS. It's free and good enough. For SFTP, the situation is more complicated. Windows ports of OpenSSH (supports SFTP) are free, but hard to maintain and often outdated. Bitvise WinSSHD is free, but only for non-commercial use. Another alternative is SFTP Server Lite, an experimental .NET SFTP server library - it's extremely simple to use, but it's not a stand-alone SFTP server.

Hi Lukas.I went through the SFTP Server Lite code. We can add Usernames and passwords, but how to mention the root directory in that?

The root directory for each virtual user is specified by the third argument of SshUser constructor. However, this is not a Rebex product - if you have any questions, feel free to ask at sftp@nuane.com
