Share private FTP stuff

Just thinking it would be very cool
being able to share some of my private ftps..
I have a private ftp account on my school where
i can upload unlimited files and it's with unlimited bandwith.
+ the server is on some fast T3 line.
The person who shares his private space
should be able to monitor uploads /add slots.
and only private ftps should be allowed.

Think of the many possiblities of this one.
I do to know what others are thinking of this idea,
can it be realised?

mount your ftp as a windows network drive,
lookup info on that

it has absolutely no relevance to DC, unless you wish to extend the ftp protocol, and the DC protocol _and_ add all that into dc++ and to the ftp server.
this would be TONS of work, and I don't think you have any clue about what you're asking for here (no offence)

This is the second topic in two days about connecting up FTP and DC++.

Strange.

Well, I have some friends that wanted to build an FTP and ended creating a DC hub

They told me it's easier, and better

I recently transitioned from a private FTP server to a DC++ hub. There were many pros to such a transition (chat, authentication, searches) that makes me wish I transitioned earlier. One of the few cons was a lack of DC++ client for old Mac systems. A major improvement would be some kind of hashing/multisource downloading, but we've asked for that enough times haven't we?

Dude that's impossible on windows machine,
you can map it.. yes.. but then it just stands in your network places folder.
There once was a program called Webdrive but it was so buggy that you couldn't work with it.
