In fact, I already started the libssh project which only miss server=20
capabilities which lot of developers are asking.
But I've though about this :
There is a problem about openssh and anonymous account : openssh needs a=20
special configuration in /etc/passwd to have anonymous accounts which canno=
t=20
execute a shell, but it's not that important. It's not as simple as setting=
=20
"user ftp is anonymous" into a configuration file and saying that anonymous=
=20
users can't upload except in upload/ even if the /home/ftp directory is 777.

My idea was to make the server behave in two different ways depending the w=
ay=20
it's called or compiled:
1- standalone server which behaves like a ssh server. The server is=20
single-process, meaning that all file accesses are done using the same=20
process. That's the most powerfull system for file services on monoprocesso=
rs=20
systems
2- people want to open only one port for SSH and want to keep an openssh op=
en=20
for standard shell. Then, the sftp server is called like the current=20
implementation of the openssh sftp server, with all ssh calls avoided (will=
=20
communicate through the pipes to sshd).

Thank you for your comment,
