Many modern scanners scan to FTP, SMB or USB. None of these options really work for me as depending on why I'm scanning I want it to be archived away, run through OCR or shoved in seafile to be shared.
This tool isn't exclusivly for scanners but honestly ftp is an ancient protocol and if you have the option of using literally any other protocol you shuold.
I have deliberately tried to limit the permissions of this tool, it will not permit downloading files or deleting them, it will however currently permit overwriting them, I suspect I will have to change that.
You can configure any number of virtual paths in the root of the virtual filesystem that can be powered by different drivers. You can point documents at /home/$user/documents and www at /var/www. If you really want to mix it up you can point cloud to https://scanner:password@seafile.example.com and have your scanned files show up there.
Take a look at the example config you can configure any number of endpoints the only restriction is they have to have unique names.
- host (string)
Host address to listen on, for example "192.168.0.1" for a specific ip, or "0.0.0.0" for all the ips on the box
- port (int)
Port to listen on
- username (string)
Username the scanner will use to log in with
- password (string)
Password the scanner will use to log in with, you have the option of using bcrypt passwords or if you're lazy you can use a plaintext password and just set the plaintext flag to true
- plaintext
Lazy passwords
- path (map)
Define root paths
[path.$name]
type=$driverWhere:
$nameis the name of the path to display in/$driveris the name of the driver to use
Depending on the driver you will have vavrious other options you can specify
Seafile seafile
The seafile driver allows you to upload your files directly to a seafile instance, I recommend using a scanner user and sharing a Scanned Documents library so you're not leaving important credentials laying around on disk, you can always move the scanned documents out of that shared library.
- username (string)
Username to log into seafile with
- password (string)
Password to log into seafile with
- api (string)
URL to the seafile installation, without any /api/, /api2/, etc just the base url.
The file system driver permits you to save your files anywhere on disk, provided the user you're running seafile as has write access to that location.

- Tests
- Better, more consistant errors
- More drivers
- Either replace the ftp-server library or update go.mod when the patches get merged
