 Peter says it would be really useful for us to offer an FTP frontend. This
 could be done outside the node (in some sort of bridge process, or via a
 FUSE layer), but I'm currently thinking that it would work best if it were
 inside the node.

 Twisted has some ftp server support, but I haven't looked at it in a long
 time. My thoughts are:

  * add a config knob to the tahoe node that turns on FTP support.
  * add an authorization mechanism: a table that maps username/password to
 rootcap. It should be possible to configure this to use the allmydata PHP-
 based login mechanism instead.
