QuickFtpServer

A lightweight, easy-to-configure FTP server using Docker.

QuickFtpServer simplifies the process of setting up file servers, allowing access from vintage systems like Windows 3.1, DOS, or any retro system equipped with an FTP client. By utilizing a Docker container, it facilitates effortless server configuration and administration, eliminating complexities. Ideal for transferring files between modern and retro platforms, it can also be employed for conducting file transfer tests or providing temporary file storage.
