I just started a project for Drupal FTP --
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drupal.org/project/drupal_ftp">http://drupal.org/project/drupal_ftp</a> -- I didn't see any support for
FTP, and needed an engine.<br>
<br>
This is still in development, but works -- the module is currently just
a proof of concept. It's largely the my_ftp wrapper drupalized
(removing the dependency for a class, currently using a global variable
instead, but that needs more thought). I still need to finish creating
the proper drupal hooks and admin settings, and plan to create an API
for it.<br>
<br>
I want some feed back for how this might be used. Besides the obvious
back-end browsing functionality, I envision it could also be used for
inline file modification. I've heard talk of using something like this
for automatic module installation as well. Also, it could possibly be
integrated with FileAPI for remote server file storage.<br>
<br>
I'd love to hear any ideas, comments, or criticisms people have. Or if
it's already duplicating work in progress, this would be a good time
for me to know about it. <br>
<br>
This is very early in development, so it could go in any of many
directions.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<p>This is just an engine right now, and an FTP browser. Not sure where
I'm going with this, but there wasn't anything giving an FTP interface
in Drupal that I could find, so here's a start. Currently, it
hard-codes the ftp u/p info, and defaults to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="ftp://ftp.drupal.org">ftp.drupal.org</a>, just to
give you the point. </p>
<p>This is an extensive remodification of the my_ftp class at <a
