I wanted to utilize the ncFTP command tools which will be called on from 
within Portal-9 and allow anonymous uploads/downloads of self-contained IDE 
projects.  CoCo3.com's hosting service won't even allow anonymous FTP, so I 
doubt there is any HTTP benefits in what I'm trying to do.

I'll have to see how this goes and keep an open mind.
