There appears to be more than one:

You may also want to search github with a composite search (esp8266 + FTP) to determine if the software exists out in the ether but never made it to this forum. - See more at: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=13132&p=60445#p60445
Thanks for the suggestion I will do that...
You have here some work from rudy (client side , not server, despite of the url's end !!)
http://www.rudiswiki.de/wiki9/WiFiFTPServer
thanks for the update, I saw that one yesterday. I am now trying to code my own FTP client, I am using WifiClient library for this, there are two clients, one for the control and another for data.
Using the control client I am able to login to the FTP server, and send send the PASV command for a passive communication, however for some reason the data connection for FTP is not being setup...
I have re-checked the sequence using filezeilla and wireshark, and I have followed exactly the same sequence in the ESP. However for some reason the data connection is not being opened from the ESP side.
Are there any 'gotchas' for using the WifiClient library , for example I use this code for opening a connection.
Code: Select allzetahost=<IP address of FTP server>
IPAddress zetahost;
WifiClient ctrlFTP,dataFTP;
ctrlFTP.connect(zetahost,21);
if (ctrlFTP.connected()){
Serial.println("FTP port connected");
}
//the data port is opened when the PASV parameters are received.nPasvPort contains the Pasv port value sent //by the FTP server
dataFTP.connect(Wifi.localIP(),nPasvPort);
if (dataFTP.connected()){
Serial.println("FTP data port connected");
}
For some reason the data port never shows as connected. Any ideas why ??
I could post the entire code if required,
thanks
