You are probably right. By concurrent access i meant, i meant leaving most 
part of managing the concurrent access to an infrastructure. 

In really i know it is more many read and one serialized write. However the 
thing is the write can come from multiple concurrent threads, and the STM 
would synchronized it. In the Case of an FTP that could be great. 

Think of this as is: When you have a database, the recommendation is to 
have many actor behind a router do the write. A database provide the ACID 
transaction so it is fine. However on a file system you don't have it. 
Hence an STM help to deal with that. If you use future to work on the file 
system, the STM could be useful as well. It avoid dealing with with low 
level synchronization.

Does it make sense.
