Hi All,

The idea of CFSMTP is very cool, which got me thinking where else
could OpenBD lend a hand.

We produce a CF based CMS / Basic DMS and one of the most sought over
feature request has been we'd love to interact with the application as
if it was a file system.

Picture being able to connect to your app as if it was a share drive
and drag and drop folders, now this could be achieved by a creating a
CFWEBDAV tag after all much of that can be implemented in pure CF
including the base authentication etc but with Windows 7 WEBDAV
support has become a bit problematic, you can see this through
projects like Alfresco which when i last used them were struggling
with Windows 7 support. Others have got around the issue by using a
desktop app e.g. Razuna.

So how cool would it be if something like this was tied in

Make your app appear to be an CIFS Server or FTP as well :)

Hooks would need to be inplace so you could role your own
authentication mechanism
file system representation and permissioning

WebDAV is cool if that was an easy first pass and the Java guys may
know a better library to plugin for the other stuff.

Cheers

Alex
