[Twisted-Python] protocols.ftp: FTP server: file upload support
I am looking to implement a 'virtual' FTP server, I've browsed the Twisted code in twisted.protocols.ftp.FTP, there doesn't appear to be a ftp_STOR method on ftp.FTP or ftp.DTP for receiving file uploads to the server. IFTPShell has a stor () method, so presumably someone thought about it. Is there any plan to add support for STOR on the server? Is there some technical reason making it really hard, or simply lack of time/demand? Ian Haywood -- PGP public key E750652E at wwwkeys.pgp.net 9BF0 67B7 F84F F7EE 0C42 C063 28FC BC52 E750 652E

FTP support has always been plagued by under motivation. It's such a backwards protocol that most people are happy to avoid it if at all possible. There's no technical reason that it would be harder than any other FTP implementation. -Eric
