[IPython-dev] Best approach for uploading files through the Notebook?

[Carl Smith]

Nice one, Fernando.

Before long, we'll need to be able to download files too. It might be
nice to have a graphical file browser with these kinds of features
that you can open with a magic. I'll think about it some more and
maybe write something later. For now, I think your suggestion will
keep people happy.
