It implements a core subset of FTP commands (USER, PASS, PWD, CWD, STOR, RETR, DELE, MLSD, and others) sufficient for typical file operations, with support for both passive mode transfers and concurrent client connections.\n\nThe library prioritizes a high-level, extensible API over raw protocol compliance. Clients can recursively list directories, download and upload files, and manage connections using async context managers. Servers can be instantiated with custom path I/O factories for flexible storage backends. The package is actively maintained, requires Python 3.10+, and has no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes. aioftp is production-stable (Development Status 5), actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and integrates cleanly into asyncio-based applications with minimal dependencies. Install it if you need async FTP client or server functionality; the low friction and permissive license make it a straightforward choice for concurrent file transfer tasks."},"id":"aioftp","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aioftp","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aioftp.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aioftp/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aioftp","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"ftp client/server for asyncio"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":415509,"position":6826,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.28.0"}
