What is the status of node-ftp?

[albemala]

I was wondering what the status of this node module is, since the last commit is 3 years old and there are a few PRs and many issues open.

This library is used by many developers and other modules. It would be a pity to have it discontinued, is there any interest in reviving it?

I try to maintain it https://github.com/icetee/node-ftp
And I begin rewrite the package in rewrite branch https://github.com/icetee/node-ftp/tree/feature/rewrite

There are more forks for fixes one error.

But I do @schipiga started and many bug fixes.

Hello @icetee,

Yeah, I started to work on my fork, because there are issues, which I need to have been implemented. And first of all, for me it requires to support automatic reconnect on connection failure. Another feature, which I interested in, is concurrent downloading, and as I understood looking to code, it's not implemented reliable. And also I'm sad with project code quality, it's difficult debug it. That't why I'm planning to rework my fork in free time.

Super. Look at my fork supported IPv6, UTF8, and the rewrite branch use ES6. Rewrite branch already supports the active connection.

I have not been able to go with him long ago, but I was well enough to remember it.

I am happy to receive the pull request.
