The perms aren't too much of a problem. I would want to use this 1500 GB
odd of space for an internal FTP server anyway. The fact that the files
will only be accessible thru the APIs could be a hitch. If its possible
though, a Freenet-to-FTP translator could be written.
How did you mean, 'there will be no data consistency' though ? Could you
please elaborate and suggest whether using a private Freenet pool could
work for me ?
thanks again,
