Method, device and system for managing FTP (file transfer protocol) server

Abstract

The invention relates to the communication technology and discloses a method, a device and a system for managing an FTP (file transfer protocol) server, which are used for reducing the complexity of the management flow of the FTP server. The method comprises the steps as follows: an FTP virtual directory is configured in a client; the FTP virtual directory is the virtual mapping of the data on the FTP server at a client; after a user logins the FTP server, non-FTP format data management command information inputted by the user through the virtual directory is received; then the non-FTP format data management command information is converted into FTP format data management command information, and sent to the FTP server to indicate the FTP server to execute corresponding data management operations. In this way, operations like downloading, modification, uploading are implemented on the data in the FTP server; therefore, the complexity of the management flow of the FTP server is effectively reduced; and the management efficiency of the management flow of the FTP server is improved. Meanwhile, the running load of a system is obviously reduced. The invention also discloses a client and a network system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method, device and system for managing an FTP server. Background technique [0002] FTP protocol is the English abbreviation of FILE TRANSFER PROTOCO. It is a protocol for bidirectional transmission of control files on the Internet. Users can use a client that supports the FTP protocol to connect to a server that supports the FTP protocol (FTP server for short), so as to access and use a large number of programs and information on the FTP server. [0003] At present, although the operating system based on the LINUX kernel is more and more widely used in various fields. At the same time, out of consideration for data security, more and more servers begin to use the Secure File Transfer Protocol (Secure File Transfer Protocol, SFTP) for file transfer. However, there are still a large number of FTP servers, which makes the management of FTP servers gradually appear many problems. det...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Under the prior art, the administrator operates the data directory (hereinafter referred to as the FTP directory) on the remote FTP server in the software interface of the client, which needs to repeatedly download, modify, and upload the files in the remote FTP directory, thereby Frequent manual operation of FTP client software is required

Different FTP client software will have different interfaces and functions. Therefore, administrators need to adapt to a variety of FTP client software, which increases the complexity of FTP server management to a certain extent and makes maintenance more efficient. Low
