FTP against slide
Are there any plans to support FTP against slide in addition to WebDAV?
Has anyone done any work in this area ?

Don't know much about PHP, but I would not access Slide through
its API, but the WebDAV protocol. Google finds some PHP WebDAV clients.
Accessing Slide through WebDAV is slightly slower than the API, but much
more flexible.

Hi!
AFAIK, no one is currently working on this.

Requirement is to support regular ftp so serving current version for
ftp 'get' is sufficient. Similarly ftp 'put' revising the last version
is ok. I guess similar to WeDAV Server we need to write an FTP Server
with Slide APIs. There are commercial solution such as Oracle Files /
Oracle 9iFS that supports multiple protocols such as WebDAV, FTP, SMB,
NFS, AFP etc. For commercial deployments where bulk file transfers etc.
are important, FTP is is a convenient protocol that's required.
I was wondering if any such additional protocol support is planned for
Slide? Also whether anyone in the community is working on FTP protocol
support or has it as a requirement?

I think this sounds like an interesting approach. I am not familiar
with the jk adapter at this point but I will look into this. I am just
trying to get a few ideas on how I might proceed to use Slide v2 so all
avenues of though on this are welcome. Thank you for your reply.

Dave

Hi!
I think what you want could be set up... Something like this:
1) Configure Slide with Tomcat, and provide webdav access to your slide
namespace on some port. This is the 'webdav' view, where people can read/
write content using dreamWeaver, MS WebFolders, etc...
2) Configure Apache and PHP.
3) Configure a Slide Resources view in Tomcat, and configure the jk adapter
between Apache and Tomcat. Configure Apache so you can see the slide
resources in some part of the apache webspace.
4) Configure Apache to use PHP on resources with the .php ending for the
parts of the webspace served by slide.
Unless I am completely wrong, it should be possible to set up a server
serving PHP pages from the slide namespace in this way.
If you try it, let us know how it goes!

Slide & PHP
Posted by David Pratt <fa...@shaw.ca>.
I don't know if there is anyone here on the slide list that also
scripts in PHP. Was thinking there might be a way to use Slide with
PHP front end through Slide's API. Any possibilities here? Was
thinking document management with a flexible front end, single
authentication process and flexible storage on database or in
filesystem.
I am not a Java programmer but perhaps someone can point out whether
Tomcat / JBoss and PHP are happy together - can't see that they
wouldn't be - just haven't done this before.

Sounds like a bit of a hack on top of a webdav server... AFAIK ftp does not
support things like versions/locking/transactions/workspaces/acl and other
webdav features. The best you could do would be to offer the current
versions of files the user may read, but even then you would have issues to
solve like concurrent writes from ftp and webdav.
