azure-blob-ftpd
===============
A simple FTP server template for Azure Storage Blob.
This server is built on top of [`ftpd`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ftpd) and [`azure-storage-fs`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/azure-storage-fs) modules.
## How to use
1. Create a Azure Storage account on [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/)
2. Write down the account name and secret
3. Set environment variables
* `BLOB_ACCOUNT_NAME` to your Azure Storage account name
* `BLOB_SECRET` to your Azure Storage secret
* (Optional) `NODE_ENV` to `production`
4. Create a user account, assume username is `johndoe` and password is `P@ssw0rd`
* Create a new container, named `johndoe`
* Add a new metadata to the container, `password` set to `P@ssw0rd`
5. Run `node index.js`
## What's next
Feel free to extend the FTP server, some ideas you can work on:
* Use SHA1 for salted password hash
* Secure with TLS ([example](https://github.com/sstur/nodeftpd/blob/master/test.js))
* Trigger webhook when a file is uploaded
* Start an [Azure WebJobs](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-create-web-jobs/)
* Send a message to [Azure Service Bus](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/service-bus-nodejs-how-to-use-queues/) queue
* [Slack](https://api.slack.com/) it
* Learn more about [`ftpd`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ftpd)
* Build a new `fs` provider for [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) or [OneDrive](https://onedrive.com/)
* Learn more about [`azure-storage-fs`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/azure-storage-fs)
* Use it with your own project
