libURL -- FTP over SSH

[Andre Garzia]

Oh boy.... I don't know if it can be done easily, if you need I can 
send you my FTPd code, the FTP  Server side is almost implemented, 
there need to fix CWD and to implement STOR, but it might help to see 
some libURL code that tries to ftp things.

Also, what about doing the other way, set up the ftp server on your 
side and allow them to connect?

cheers
