Demand guide to compile FileZilla Server under Windows

#ane Post by koofi » 2022-02-01 20:24

Dear Developers, Hi

I accept a goal to add a file versioning feature + a different log system to FileZilla Server.

I have found the Source code of the latest stable version of FileZilla Server (1.2.0) from this folio.

Earlier starting to develop on it I needed to brand sure whether in that location is a sufficient guide to Build and Compile it simply I could non discover any.

Please help me if yous have any information on how to build and compile FileZilla Server (the latest stable version) nether Windows ten.

Cheers in accelerate.

What do y'all mean by "file versioning"?

So every fourth dimension a file that already exists in the server gets uploaded, the FTP server automatically renames the file name with the version (due east.ten list_v2.eight.csv), and also the FTP server will archive the old file to a path.

Dear oibaf, seems like you are a FileZilla server developer, do you take whatsoever instructions on how I can compile and build the FileZilla server project?
and any idea how to import it to the visual studio so I can beginning working on information technology?

I don't use the Visual Studio solutions -- any time I build FileZilla (client or server) I practice the cross-compile method via Linux (Debian) or using Windows Subsystem for Linux (v1) with Debian equally the file-system. That is almost always successful for both client and server.

The MinGW/MSYS2 "native" Windows build is somewhat tedious then I tend to avoid it (even though information technology is a valid / usable method that produces working builds if there are no errors with the libraries)

What exercise yous mean by "file versioning"?

And then every time a file that already exists in the server gets uploaded, the FTP server automatically renames the file name with the version (e.x list_v2.viii.csv), and likewise the FTP server volition archive the old file to a path.

How do you intend to make this work, in practice? How would yous inform the server about the version?

Honey oibaf, seems similar y'all are a FileZilla server programmer, do you take whatever instructions on how I can compile and build the FileZilla server project?
and any idea how to import it to the visual studio and then I can start working on it?

The instructions that you were given above work just fine. Visual Studio is non supported at the moment, I myself work on Linux using QtCreator as an IDE. The official build is made using the automake/autoconf tools. Even the windows binaries are crosscompiled from Linux.

What complications apply with libfilezilla/FileZilla Customer being nether GPLv2 and FileZilla Server existence under AGPLv3+?

Per your request, the LICENSE applied on my compilation assist pages accept all been moved to AGPLv3+ - but does this now affect the files that are based on libfilezilla and FileZilla customer but not Server? How does I properly apply this with libfilezilla being a standalone library that is used in both projects with differing licenses?

AGPLv3+ and GPLv3+ are cross-compatible. libfilezilla is distributed under GPLv2+. Linking libfilezilla against FileZilla Server is thus possible by applying the GPLv3 to libfilezilla.

How do you intend to brand this work, in do? How would yous inform the server near the version?

Basically for at present my idea is very bones, I want to rely on the file name, allow'due south say if we have a "test.csv" file on the server and the client downloaded it, and then again attempts to upload the same file to the server, base on equal names FTP server will inquire if this is the new version of the current hosted file? If the answer is yes then a version number volition append to the end of the file name.

Thank you for your quick reply to my question.
