That'd be great; I'm interested to see how you do it, as I don't yet fully
understand the Twisted way.  I have always used Python's ftplib, so doing this
in a fully async manner is still a little mind-bending for me.

Well, since you asked, I could really use MKD and RMD too, since I am copying
a directory hierarchy from one server to another, and the target server may
not already have the correct directory layout.

That sounds pretty cool, although I'll be perfectly happy if FTPClient can
reproduce the current functionality of ftplib.

On a semi-related note, I'm thinking about trying to write a Protocol/Factory
to handle the SCC protocol used by PVCS, SourceSafe, and a few other
commercial source control tools.  I'm thinking in terms of a Twisted.vcs
plugin.  Is this a good idea, or is this really not what Twisted is best used
for?
