Component or Source for Running an FTP Server via C# (with SSL)

Question

I'm surprised by the lack of products out there for running your own FTP server in managed code. I'm looking for either a product or thorough source code for building an FTP server in C# that supports SSL. I need complete control over the directory/file handling, not just serving files from a local directory.

Clever Internet .NET Suite looks to be exactly what I'm looking for. However, when I tried it out I got errors connecting to the FtpServerSSL sample from FileZilla when SSL was enabled. It worked perfectly without SSL, so I wrote to their support, but I haven't heard a response from them yet.

Answer 1

We plan to release FTP / FTPS server components within a month as part of our SecureBlackbox product. The components are currently being internally tested. As SecureBlackbox is a security suite, SSL part will work there :).

Answer 2

Never done it myself, but you could try one of these:

You secure the port using httpcfg or netsh in windows, not in the app.
