Originally created by @lunny on GitHub (Feb 16, 2020).

I propose that gitea could add ftp/ftps protocol support. So that you can explore files(default branch) via ftp clients and download/put/delete files.

We could implement this feature via https://goftp.io/server and I'm the author of that library. We need to implement an interface Driver via gitea.

  • Explore
  • You can login the ftp/ftps via your username/password of gitea instance.
  • When login succeed, and explore the path /, it will list all the users or orgniziations you have access permissions.
  • When enter the username/orgniziation, it will list all the repositories you have access permissions on this username/orgniziation.
  • When enter the repository, it will list the repository's first class directory of default branch. If the repository is empty, nothing will be displayed.
  • Download
  • When download from /, all repositories user have permission will be download.
  • When download from users or orgniziation directory, all repositories of this user/orgniziation will be download.
  • When download from a respository, the default branch tree files will be downloaded.
  • When download from a subtree of a repository, the sub directory will be downloaded.
  • Mkdir
  • When mkdir on /, an orgnization will be created.
  • When mkdir on a user/orgniziation, an empty repository will be created.
  • When mkdir on a repository, a directory with a empty file .gitkeep will be created and the file will be hidden from ftp view.
  • Upload
  • When upload a file on / or user/orgniziation will return error.
  • When upload a file on an empty repository, the repository will be initilized a master branch and save the file.
  • When upload a file on an exist repository, the file will be added to default branch.
  • Delete
  • / cannot be deleted
  • delete user/orgniziation direcotry, it will delete a user or an orgniziation
  • delete a file or directory on a repository, it will delete the file/directory on the repository's default branch.

It could come handy but I would suggest to be separate to gitea main process like a proxy that leverage gitea api (maybe even internal api).

I don't think there would be enough people interested in an out-dated protocol .... FTP is too old to be used today 😂

SFTP can be better, but just as sapk said, this feature can be implemented outside Gitea, Gitea can focus on its own tasks.

Delete Branch "%!s()"

Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
