FTP-Server Enhanced Open Source Features

Enhanced Open Source Feature: Kerberos Authentication

Apache FTP Server authentication records usernames and passwords in files or databases. In a distributed system, this storage mode has certain defects. The file storage mode is not applicable for distributed systems, while the database storage mode is quite different from user management in HDFS. Therefore, MRS uses the Kerberos service in the cluster for authentication, seamlessly integrating user management, cluster user management, and HDFS user management.

Enhanced Open Source Feature: FTP-based File Transfer to the HDFS File System

As the storage file system of FTP-Server, HDFS stores all data of FTP-Server.
