Re^2: Abstraction of FTP as a file system

Your RESTful interface sounds cool! If you could upload to CPAN or host elsewhere, that would be very useful, as I have several potential applications. Would your interface require apache or work standalone?

NET::FTPServer is not what I currently need, as my requirements are for an FTP client which looks like a file system.

I am working towards making this application a CPAN contribution, always assuming that I can get the higher-ups to go along with the idea (they'll want to retain copyright, of course). All I need to do is make sure all of the company-related stuff is separate from the vanilla product that we upload to CPAN. And yes, it runs through Apache .. that's a wheel I decided I didn't want to reinvent, and in fact using Apache makes the REST interface easier, since I use URL rewriting to implement the RESTful interface. I also use cookies, which isn't totally in favour with some RESTafarians, but I find it easier and less problematic to do that than stuff the authentication into the URLs.
