[ExtractStream] Re: My Dangerous Idea - A technical question, not a legal question

[Carlos Fernández Sanz]

I'm not attached to FTP itself. I'm doing this because I'm learning a lot in
the process about both MFS and filesystems.
Also, extraction is one thing and insertion quite another. How far have you
gotten?

Anyway, I find that having access to MFS as any other FS is quite useful.
You could even use rsync to keep two Tivos synchronized, for example.
