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

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.)
