What are the problems with making a fork of Twisted with the fix Tahoe needs to implement FTP, then moving back to Twisted trunk once the required patch is available there?<div><br></div><div>Is this even a possible option for making Tahoe FTP available immediately without having to push off the Twisted patch onto users?</div>

Have you tried the FTP interface that is available? This can be easily<br>
mapped using Windows File Explorer, and if the network is local then you<br>
don't have to worry about unencrypted file transmission. There is also<br>
SFTP support.<br>

<br>
It is set up on the production network: <a href="ftp://prodftp.allmydata.com" target="_blank">ftp://prodftp.allmydata.com</a> and<br>
uses your normal login/pass. You can also easily enable it on your local<br>
node to try it out. Just modify the tahoe.cfg to enable FTP, point at an<br>
authentication server, return a base URI root-cap, and you're off!<br>
