Yes, in theory you are right, but practical you have to
write a ServletContainer which is FTP aware; not a simple
task as FTP is not a simple protocol.
Take a look at a new Apache project: FtpServer at
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/ftpserver/.
What are you trying to do?
I've a similar need, but it would be helpful if I could hand off
uploads/downloads to an ftpserver.
My concern is timeouts with large file transfers, which I believe
ftp to be better suited?
It may not be very common, but I guess this is not unusual.
