Funny that you say that. I have a situation that I would love to have
an FTP server as part of MC. I am producing a setup for controlled
distribution of files. I think it will work nicely with MC as HTTP
server for passing out the files. However, it seems that my users
must use a separate software for uploading the files, and I need to
install a proper and properly configured FTP server (MC-based server
would know exactly where to put files using the authentication
implemented for downloading).
