GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 463440
Forgot to provide FTP backend for note synchronization
Last modified: 2017-07-31 12:37:24 UTC
When Boyd and I started work on note sync, we wanted to at least provide support for WebDAV, FTP, and maybe SSH, in addition to arbitrary file system paths. Somehow we forgot to include the simple addition of FTP support. The forthcoming patch remedies that, using curlftpfs as the associated FUSE backend. It works basically identically to the WebDAV backend.

This works great unless you mix with a "bad" version of libcurl; then curlftpfs hangs in a way that is very difficult to recover for most users without logging out. Patch needs to be updated to check for specific versions of libcurl.
Very useful IMHO, as FTP-access seems to be more likely for most users than WebDAV for example

Review of attachment 93085 [details] [review]: Libcurl has since been updated. Let's get this patch in!
