Azure Blob Service as file system about ftpserver

[fubar-coder]

No, because Azure is too expensive for me 😭

[fubar-coder]

Um, do you mean SFTP or FTPS? This project only supports FTPS, because SFTP is a completely different protocol (AFAIK).

Ahh yes, sorry.
I was talking about FTPS

@fubar-coder is that something you were looking into before?

haha ok :)
If we would provide you access to an Azure Blob Storage would you be willing to create the file system for the community? ;)

[fubar-coder]

Sure, I'd like to try it. I guess that it's OK to test with the Azure Storage Emulator first.

@fabich I experimented a little bit with Azure Blob Storage, but it's not that easy.

• Support for different blob types
  • FTP extension to switch between the types of blobs that should be created
• Different levels for a "root"
  • Root container
  • Container
  • Some kind of "root" blob path
• Directories are virtual (i.e. only files really exist)

My assumption is, that a working version would require 10-20 hours of work, depending on the required feature set.

Could you send me your email address so we can talk details?

[fubar-coder]

@fabich You can contact me through the contact form of my web site.

EDIT: I couldn't find your email address and I don't want to post it publicly.

Isn't there a project that already does this? Maybe it just needs to be updated to be usable in production: https://github.com/adhurwit/AzureBlobFtp

I saw this project. It all depends on the customers needs. This file system might not be as flexible as it needs to be.
