In the zip distribution GoldenGateFtpExec-X.Y.Z-dist.zip (available at sourceforge for download), you will find an extra directory named: src/main/config where two examples files are: config.xml and authent.xml. Those two files are related to the simple implementation of the Ftp Server.
The first one (config.xml) specifies the general behavior:
The second one (authent.xml) is a simple authentication file containing user definition (user name, password, account, admin status).
It can be started like:
java ... classpath and jvm settings ... goldengate.ftp.exec.FtpServer src/main/config/config.xml
Note that in the classpath you need :
Some of them can be replaced if you change the implementation (Common IO is optional, Dom4J and Jaxen are only used if XML configuration file is used, SLF4J and Logback could be replaced with other logger framework, see the goldengate.common.logging from GoldenGateCommon where JDK is also supported, others can easily be supported).
To shutdown the service, either you do a CTRL-C or better if Unix (but not IBM JDK)
kill -SIGUSR1 <processID>
or even better you connect as an admin user and execute the special command:
internalshutdown <password>
where the password is the one in the config.xml for admin actions.
For instance, using FTP Client from windows you have to type the command quote to pass a non standard command to the FTP Server.
>quote internalshutdown <password>
Note that this FTP Server can be used as a simple one, but also for more complicated cases. It is in the middle of a self FTP server (simpleimpl package) and a framework to implement its own FTP service, which is the main reason of this project since I've not found any other open source implementations allowing to have pre or post actions on transfers or commands.
Hope this helps a bit... If you have any questions, remarks, just ask!
