Hey,
Is there an easy way to embed a file-sharing server into a Cocoa
application? Right now, I have a client-server setup that communicates via
distributed objects (with Bonjour for discovery). I would like the client to
be able to download files from the server, but I don't want to write my own
file sharing protocol. Perhaps there is an ftp server I can embed into my
server?
My purpose in embedding the file sharing server into my application would be
to save setup time. It seems the alternative would be instructions for
enabling AFP, putting all of the support files into the right directory,
then inputting the access information (path, username, password) into the
server so the clients can access it. This is an in-house application, so
that is all possible, but definitely not preferred. The way I envision my
application working, the first time the server opens it would prompt for the
directory with all of the supporting files. It would then vend this folder
(read-only access) via FTP or a similar protocol. Simple and easy!
Are there any libraries / frameworks you would recommend?
Thank You,
Bridger Maxwell
