FtpPlugin – Simple In-Game FTP Server Control

FtpPlugin lets you start and stop a lightweight FTP server for your Minecraft server directly from in-game commands.
No external setup, no separate daemon – just drop the JAR in your /plugins folder and go.

Features

Start and stop an embedded FTP server from in-game using /ftp open and /ftp close.
FTP root is the Minecraft server directory (read + write).
Port is configurable via config.yml.
Only one specific player name is allowed to use the command.
Single fixed FTP account for login (username + password).

Commands

/ftp open – Starts the embedded FTP server (only for the one allowed player name).
/ftp close – Stops the embedded FTP server.

When /ftp open succeeds, the plugin sends a chat message showing:

The FTP port currently in use.
The FTP login username (this is identical to the only in-game name allowed to run the command).
The FTP password (a fixed secret string embedded in the plugin).

Use those values in your FTP client to connect once the server is running.

Configuration

On first run, a config file is generated:

plugins/FtpPlugin/config.yml

Example:

ftp:
  port: 2121

Change port to your desired TCP port, then restart or reload the server.

Permissions

ftp.manage – Required to use /ftp (defaults to OP).

> Even with the permission, the plugin still checks the player’s exact name; only that one name can actually open or close the FTP server.

Usage

Place the plugin JAR into your server’s /plugins folder.
Start the server to generate config.yml.
(Optional) Edit the FTP port in config.yml.
Restart or reload the server.
Log in with the allowed in-game name and run /ftp open.
Check chat for the FTP username and password, then connect with your FTP client using your server IP and configured port.
When finished, run /ftp close to stop the FTP server.

Security Notice

This plugin exposes your entire server folder over plain FTP with a fixed username and password. For safety:

Do not expose the FTP port directly to the public internet unless you know what you’re doing.
Prefer a firewall, VPN, or SSH tunnel so only you can connect.
Treat the credentials shown in chat after /ftp open as highly sensitive.
