Description:


Helper class for the FTPServer.

Common code for FTP serverSessions - add concrete subclass
The stuff implemented here realizes the protocol;
real file operations and authorization must be implemented in subclasses.

Methods which should be redefined are found in the 'must be redefined' category.

Be aware, that FTPSessions may allow a client to GET all files
which are readable by me (except for the white- and blacklists below).

To limit access to certain folders, you can explicitly whiteList
allowed folders (by setting whiteListedFolders) and/or exclude individual folders
via a blackList (setting blackListedFolders).

Whitelisting is done first, then blacklisting
i.e. it is possible to allow everything under '/foo/...' by adding '/foo' to the whitelist,
and still exclude individual subdirectories under it by adding (say) '/foo/bar/baz' to the blacklist.


    
    FTPServer start.
    FTPServer startOnPort:portNr.

    (FTPServer forPort:12345)
        sessionClass:SmalltalkFTPSession;
        start

    then, on the command line, try:
        ftp loalhost 12345

Class protocol:

defaults
o  ftpVersion

queries
o  isAbstract
Return if this class is an abstract class.
True is returned here for myself only; false for subclasses.
Abstract subclasses must redefine this again.


Instance protocol:

o  blackListedFoldersForReading
if non-nil, folders whose names match any in the given list will
NOT be visible to clients

o  blackListedFoldersForReading: aListOfGlobPatterns
if non-nil, folders whose names match any in the given list will
NOT be visible to clients

o  blackListedFoldersForWriting
if non-nil, folders whose names match any in the given list will
NOT be allowed to be written into by clients

o  blackListedFoldersForWriting: aListOfGlobPatterns
if non-nil, folders whose names match any in the given list will
NOT be allowed to be written into by clients

o  exitOnBadCommand: aBoolean
can be set to enforce connection closing, whenever a bad command arrives

o  whiteListedFoldersForReading
if non-nil, only folders whose names match any in the given list will
be visible to clients
