Docker Matrix - 2026-04-18 ​

Integration matrix on local Docker containers for FTP, SFTP (ed25519), WebDAV, and S3/MinIO.

Target: aeroftp-cli (CLI) and shared provider logic Scope: base operations (connect / ls / stat / get / put / mkdir / rm / mv / tree / hashsum), 10 MB and 100 MB files with end-to-end SHA-256 verification Profiles used: Docker FTP, Docker SFTP ed25519, Docker WebDAV, Docker MinIO

S3 / MinIO✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ SHA256✅ 633 MB/s

Reported throughput is end-to-end over loopback (container to host on the same machine) and is not representative of real-network workloads.

Transfer integrity ​

  • End-to-end SHA-256 verification on 10 MB and 100 MB files for all protocols in the table
  • For SFTP ed25519 also confirmed intact round-trip on file names with spaces, unicode, emoji, apostrophes, and special characters

Environment ​

All containers are defined in the harness docker-compose.yml:

Reproducibility ​

bash
# harness, from the published docker-harness directory (see methodology)
./setup.sh
docker compose up -d --build

# saved profiles for the endpoints and credentials in the table above, named
# as in this run: create them in the app (New Server) or with
# `aeroftp-cli profile-add --name ... --protocol ... --host ... --port ...
# --username ...` plus `--password-stdin` (or `--key` for the SFTP key user);
# for MinIO set the bucket aeroftp-test and path-style addressing in the app
aeroftp-cli -P "Docker FTP" ls /
aeroftp-cli -P "Docker SFTP ed25519" ls /home/user_key
aeroftp-cli -P "Docker WebDAV" ls /
aeroftp-cli -P "Docker MinIO" ls /
