Shawn,

 

Where can I read more about these capabilities and how to set them up.

Maybe I'm way off base with this, but what about setting up the tahoe config
for sftp access, then using fusessh and mounting it to a directory somewhere
on your system, and then using some other app for public access?

 

That loses most of the niceness of sharing via Tahoe.

 

With Tahoe caps, I can give you access to any subtree, but not provide you
any ability to access anything outside the subtree, and I can give you one
subtree now and another tomorrow.  With your suggestion, I have to pick in
advance which subtree I'm going to make available to the whole world.  If I
want to be more selective I then have to add some additional access control
mechanism on top of it.
