CleanFTP Library Project
I started this project in May, 2006 when we were looking for another client FTP library
for an internal project called "Tarantula" for Base4 Sistemas, the software company
I work. That time we were using the well known
Jakarta Commons Net. Commons Net is
great but has many things that we don't need, like support for Telnet, NNTP and so on.
We were looking for something lighter.
So, we've searched the net and found an open-source project called Radinks FTP.
Looking at the sources we found a surprisingly simple implementation in pure-Java.
This inspired me to start a new project based on Raditha's RFC959 implementation.
Then I started a completely new FTP client library with a much more object-oriented
approach that just works for our own purposes.
As said, CleanFTP library is based on an open-source similar project. So, this is
why I decided to "open" CleanFTP implementation for the community. This library is
very useful to me, maybe it's useful for someone else too (and I hope so).
