# Introduction #

`mod_ftp` is a FTP Protocol module to serve httpd content over the FTP
protocol (whereever the HTTP protocol could also be used). It provides both
RETR/REST retrieval and STOR/APPE upload, using the same user/permissions
model as httpd (so it shares the same security considerations as mod_dav
plus mod_dav_fs).

# Get It! #

`mod_ftp` 0.9.6 is released as beta, and you can get the source from
[your local mirror](http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#mod_ftp).

Development of mod_ftp can be followed through the
[Subversion](http://subversion.apache.org/) repositories. For public access
you can use :

    % svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/mod_ftp/trunk/ mod_ftp

# Documentation #

The [ftp documentation](ftp/index.html) starting page and the [mod_ftp
reference page](mod/mod_ftp.html) will get you started.

See the
[README-FTP](http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/mod_ftp/trunk/README-FTP)
file distributed with the module's source code for additional build and
installation notes.
