Justin has written up a quick look at a FTP server that's been written entirely in PHP - nanoFTP.

nanoFTPd is an ftp daemon written in php. as of version 4.2.0, php supports the command-line interface (stable since 4.3.0), which nanoFTPd relies on. nanoFTPd is modular, so it’s easy to add custom modules and other stuff, like different database interfaces (currently supports mysql and postgresql).

The server allows for a lot of the usual FTP functionality - uploads, downloads, user authentication, logging, etc. It works with PHP 4.2 and above and is pretty simple to install.

In a new post to the JSLabs blog today, Justin Silverton mentions a FTP server that's been created entirely in PHP - nanoFTP.

Features of the app include user authentication via a database or text file, dynamic IP support, and most of the usual FTP goodies you're used to in a server. You'll need at least PHP 4.2.0 to get it up and running, but configuration is simple and installations it just as easy. You can grab the software from their website.
