I get doing something like this as a learning project. All I'm saying is that we should actively be trying to kill off FTP for good. There are superior protocols (and workflows for that matter). I will concede that it looks like a fantastic FTP client, but would you be excited about a dial up modem controller (no matter how nice it looked)? Or a really fancy cassette tape player? It's an interesting thought experiment to see what those technologies might look like if they were brought to market today, but it's very strange to want people to actually use them in my opinion.
