early draft to add a FTP storage backend
use case:
bittorrent reverse proxy
running on a fast cache server with limited storage
in front of a slow backend server with large storage
remotefs-ftpdoes not work becauseremotefsis not thread-safesee e9dcd16
async_ftpis hard to integratebecause all the storage functions are sync...
i am not good enough in Rust for such a large task
and github copilot fails on complex errors
note:
the FTP protocol is an implementation detail
it could be any network filesystem:
NFS, SMB, HTTP, WebDAV, SCP, Rsync, Rclone, ...
alternatives:
fusekernel module
