#1356: SFTP: allow logging in with an arbitrary cap URI as root
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------

     Type:  defect          |          Status:  new  
 Priority:  major           |       Milestone:  1.9.0
Component:  code-frontend   |         Version:  1.8.2
 Keywords:  sftp usability  |   Launchpad Bug:       
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 The SFTP frontend should allow logging in with username {{{uri}}}, and
 password an arbitrary cap URI.

 This can then be used to implement a {{{tahoe mount}}} command (separate
 ticket), as suggested in ticket:1353#comment:3.

 Note that you can already access an arbitrary cap URI via the {{{/uri/}}}
 directory, but that does not have nearly as nice usability properties,
 because you can't access aliases that way. (Allowing access to aliases
 would provide ambient authority and so is not capability-secure.)
