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.
