Greetings. Nice to see this module has been getting some love after all this time. Would you be interested in collaborating with me? I have a somewhat crude module at http://drupal.org/project/savetoftp that I created 2 years ago in order to give a user interface to allow saving nodes to an FTP server.

Not sure what's best, if I should integrate your API into my code, or create a more generic FTP module with proper UI? Let me know if you want to collaborate and any suggestions.

Cheers,

Kevin

Hey nowarninglabel, definitely interested, where do I sign up :)

I'd be happy to make alterations to drupal_ftp so that it can support your modules needs. I'll do some testing this weekend.

Alexkb,

Yeah, probably I'll have to make an outline of what I need from you. What I will start with is making it a task for myself to go through the code again and start using it to try to meet the feature request I put in my issue queue of having an FTP browser. I also want to use file streams and other such features.

Hi
I have an ftp server box, and webserver box. I want drupal to save files in ftp server and keep the nodes. So drupal will deliver files via ftp. As a result i will be able to search files with more descriptions. Which module csn i use to achieve this? I want to use drupal 7 will you update your modules for drupal 7?

Zulfierken,

Yes, there will be an update of my module to Drupal 7, though hopefully it will use the APIs from Drupal FTP or use some of the file wrapper functionality present in D7. I suggest you file a feature request in drupal.org/project/savetoftp with a request for update to D7 so you will know once it has been done.

I am working on a client project at the moment that requires FTP browsing/uploading on a per user basis, is anyone working on this sort of thing?

If not, I'd be happy to add the feature and post a patch. I guess a CVS checkout of 6.x-1.x-dev is best to work against at this stage?

Hey matason - have you considered the storage_api - its probably a more suitable base to work from then drupal_ftp.
