FTP in SVN isn't too bad... it's not completely broken, at least ;)

And it now has a halfway-decent test suite, although more would really be a
good idea (as using the --coverage option of trial will show).  The code
isn't particularly elegant, but it's readable enough.

So, I don't think it's too early to start improving the IFTPShell stuff
(which I had been consciously ignoring until now).  The other work that
needs doing shouldn't tend to get in the way very much, because the basics
have been fixed.
