run anonymous ftp server in python

To run an anonymous FTP server in Python, you can use the built-in ftplib and pyftpdlib libraries.

Here's an example of how to set up an anonymous FTP server using pyftpdlib:

main.py
from pyftpdlib.authorizers import DummyAuthorizer
from pyftpdlib.handlers import FTPHandler
from pyftpdlib.servers import FTPServer

# Set up the authorizer for anonymous users
authorizer = DummyAuthorizer()
authorizer.add_anonymous("/path/to/ftp/root")

# Set up the FTP handler
handler = FTPHandler
handler.authorizer = authorizer

# Set up and start the FTP server
server = FTPServer(("0.0.0.0", 21), handler)
server.serve_forever()
436 chars
16 lines

This code creates a DummyAuthorizer that allows anonymous users to access the FTP server with read-only access to the specified directory. The FTPHandler is set up to use the authorizer, and then the FTPServer is started on port 21.

To run this code, simply save it as a Python script and run it using python script.py in a terminal.
