FTPServer Module

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The FTPServer module provides server-side functionality for FTP and FTPS protocols.

Syntax

SecureBlackbox.FTPServer

Remarks

FTPServer supports FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and FTPS (FTP-over-SSL) protocols. The FTPS protocol allows you to securely perform file transfer operations on the server over Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS is a successor to the now deprecated SSL protocol, although the latter abbreviation is still widely used.

The class fires this event to let the application perform an overridden directory removal operation.

This event only fires if Action = fraCustom was passed back from BeforeRemoveDirectory event, and expects your code to perform the requested operation inside the handler. No default operation will be performed by the server component.

Use the OperationStatus parameter to return the operation result back to the server.

This event will be followed by AfterRemoveDirectory call which will let you make final adjustments to the returned code.

Set OperationStatus to one of the following values:

The class fires this event to report that a client has requested a TLS-PSK negotiation. ConnectionId indicates the unique connection ID that requested the PSK handshake.

Use Identity to look up for the corresponding pre-shared key in the server's database, then assign the key to the PSK parameter. If TLS 1.3 PSK is used, you will also need to assign the Ciphersuite parameter with the cipher suite associated with that identity and their key.

TLSShutdown Event (FTPServer Module)

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onTLSShutdown(connectionID: Int64)
