The point of your original post seemed to be that this
would make it somehow easier to update a site. Does it? Let's
go through the steps for each.
Your way (if I understand you correctly)
- Start up mini-ftp server
- Open big-honking browser that can handle multipart encoding
- Go to URL with file input field
- click browse, navigate, and select ortype the filename
- click go (or have it upload onChange or something equally silly)
- Shut down mini-ftp server
Using ftp from command line
- change to directory where file resides
- ftp to your server
- Enter username, password
- put file
- quit
Frankly I don't see a great deal of time saved or a huge
improvement in useability. Although it is clever, it seems
like it might just be easier and quicker to ftp (or sftp,
or scp). And although the risk is slight from a security stand
point, it does make me curious whether you've ever forgot to
turn out the lights.
