Further Reading
There are a range of RFCs that together specify the FTP protocol. In chronological
order, the more useful ones are:
For an english summary that's somewhat more legible than the RFCs, and provides
some commentary on what features are actually useful or relevant 24 years after
RFC959 was published:
For a history lesson, check out Appendix III of RCF959. It lists the preceding
(obsolete) RFC documents that relate to file transfers, including the ye old
RFC114 from 1971, "A File Transfer Protocol"
This library is heavily based on em-ftpd, an FTPd
framework with similar design goals within the ruby and EventMachine ecosystems. It
worked well enough, but you know, callbacks and event loops make me something
something.
