all in favor of improving Drupal's core file handling. But also when<br>
discussions like this come up, I mention <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://drupal.org/project/upapi" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/project/upapi</a><br>
(Upload API contrib module). If I could rally the troops around this
module<br>
it could become a great thing.<br>
<br>
One thing this module does is invoke hooks to let other modules know
when new<br>
files have been uploaded and act on them. I can imagine an add-on that<br>
detects FTPed files, and inserts them into the upapi system (which
currently<br>
only supports uploads via forms)</blockquote>

Dave, why rally troops around a contrib module instead of a core
patch? The UpAPI module is awesome work and implements some really
cool stuff, but is irrelevant to the discussion of Drupal FTP and it's
merit.<br>
<br>
I think having ftp client implementations aren't really the greatest
thing, especially when PHP's native stream wrappers include FTP and
SFTP/SSH. There is a patch floating around for stream wrapper support
in core <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://drupal.org/node/227232">http://drupal.org/node/227232</a>
which would deprecate most of these types of file clients.<br>
<br>
I think modules like drupal_ftp and media_mover are excellent use cases
for stream wrapper support in core. <br>
<br>
If it were me I'd list it as officially abandoned if you don't need it
and let people know it's looking for a maintainer if anyone requires it.<br>
