## For developers

Release notes should be added to `next` by editing existing files or creating
new files. **Do not add RELNOTE=yes comments in CLs.** Instead, add a file to
the CL (or ask the author to do so).

At the end of the development cycle, the files will be merged by being
concatenated in sorted order by pathname. Files in the directory matching the
glob "*stdlib/*minor" are treated specially. They should be in subdirectories

# MinIO FTP/SFTP Server

MinIO natively supports FTP/SFTP protocol, this allows any ftp/sftp client to upload and download files.

Currently supported `FTP/SFTP` operations are as follows:

| ftp-client commands | supported |
|:-------------------:|:----------|
| get                 | yes       |
| put                 | yes       |
| ls                  | yes       |
| mkdir               | yes       |
| rmdir               | yes       |

## Overview

MinIO implements an S3 extension to list, stat and download files inside a ZIP file stored in any bucket. A perfect use case scenario is when you have a lot of small files archived in multiple ZIP files. Uploading them is faster than uploading small files individually. Besides, your S3 applications will be able to access to the data with little performance overhead.

so performance impact should be minimal even if precompressed data is re-compressed.
Decompressing incompressible data has no significant performance impact.

Below is a list of common files and content-types which are typically not suitable for compression.

- Extensions

 | `gz`  | (GZIP)      |
 | `bz2` | (BZIP2)     |
 | `rar` | (WinRAR)    |
 | `zip` | (ZIP)       |
