tkWWW as a replacement for FTP

Advantages of tkWWW over ordinary ftp

• Point and click interface
• Can reference ftp documents from other tkWWW media (like news)
• Can automagically unpack files

What needs to be done before tkWWW can replace FTP

• Needs to handle dead connections better
• Needs to have some way of letting user know how big a file is
• Right now it dumps a file into tmp and then moves it. It would be better to have the file dumped into the final location that the user wants it to be
• Needs to have a way of retrieving multiple files
• Needs to have a way of sending files as well as receiving them
