How to build a FTP server with Netty?

I have built a server application with netty that now needs to act as a ftp server as well. Basically I just need to support authentication/login and file upload via ftp.

Unfortunately there seems to be no pure java implementation of ftp so I could simply write my own decoder/encoder/handler set. Apache MINA provides a complete ftp server, but how could I do it simple and easy with netty?

I already integrated jetty for web service support, but I can't find ftp support for jetty neither.

It would be marvelous to get some hints. I think I checked out all google hits on "java ftp" but they just seem to provide ftp client stuff.

Best regards, Martin

If it's Netty you're interested in, I found an open source FTP server based on it: https://github.com/waarp/WaarpFtp

Maybe you could reuse some parts of the project? I guess this source file might be the most interesting to you: https://github.com/waarp/WaarpFtp/blob/master/src/main/java/org/waarp/ftp/core/control/NetworkHandler.java

I wrote netty handler for receiving files over FTP - netty-ftp-receiver. It's small and straightforward and may be used as a starting point.
