ftp client/server for asyncio (https://aioftp.readthedocs.org)
- Simple.
- Extensible.
- Client socks proxy via siosocks (pip install aioftp[socks]).
- Minimum usable core.
- Do not use deprecated or overridden commands and features (if possible).
- Very high level api.
Client use this commands: USER, PASS, ACCT, PWD, CWD, CDUP, MKD, RMD, MLSD, MLST, RNFR, RNTO, DELE, STOR, APPE, RETR, TYPE, PASV, ABOR, QUIT, REST, LIST (as fallback)
Server support this commands: USER, PASS, QUIT, PWD, CWD, CDUP, MKD, RMD, MLSD, LIST (but it's not recommended to use it, cause it has no standard format), MLST, RNFR, RNTO, DELE, STOR, RETR, TYPE ("I" and "A"), PASV, ABOR, APPE, REST
This subsets are enough for 99% of tasks, but if you need something, then you can easily extend current set of commands.
Compared with pyftpdlib and checked with its ftpbench script.

Client example
WARNING
For all commands, which use some sort of «stats» or «listing», aioftp tries
at first MLSx-family commands (since they have structured, machine readable
format for all platforms). But old/lazy/nasty servers do not implement this
commands. In this case aioftp tries a LIST command, which have no
standard format and can not be parsed in all cases. Take a look at
FileZilla
«directory listing» parser code. So, before creating new issue be sure this
is not your case (you can check it with logs). Anyway, you can provide your own
LIST parser routine (see the client documentation).
