Description

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.
