Implementation of FS.

Seperation between dirs and files.

It should be possible for dirs to have a list of properties associated, plugins can use this for storing meta-data about the dir.

Remote filesystems

It should be possible for a filesystem to implement a DataConnectionProvider interface to signal that clients can download/upload directly to/from a given filesystem. Checks on the uploaded files will still have to be done somehow in "sync" with the local server.

PRET command has to be implemented regarding handling remote filesystems.

Plugins

Jython vs beanshell

Need to figure which of these is the best. Jython could offer better seperation maybe? And it will still be possible to write normal plugins in Java code. Maybe use Jython only for special "SITE" commands.

What to plugin?

Special filesystem implementations, SITE commands, PRE/POST command hooks.

Selecting frameworks

It should be possible to find good frameworks which we can use, ideas:

• JMX for the configuration and server instance.
• Hibernate for objects that needs persistence (drop the current "old" file-based implementations for now).
