Chapter 2. Introduction

The aim of this plugin is to give typo3 an integrated FTP,  WEBDAV & SMTP server which handles both TYPO3 BE user filemounts and webmounts.

The Idea is to be able to edit/create/delete content with different means than the normal BE interface.

For this pupose it is necessary to creat a class to « remote control TYPO3 » this class is called meta_t3io.

The FTP daemon is integrated in typo3 as much as possible, while the WEBDAV server is just served by your web server and is based on the PEAR Webdav Server class.

A BE module allows administrator to start / stop the daemons with the rights of the user of the web server (nobody).

It is possible to upload and download from Filemounts as from Webmounts.

Download & Upload from filemounts are just the same as on any FTP server.

Download & Upload from webmounts are based on content transformations which are configurable by page TS Config.

It is possible to say for example that upload a html file will create a tt_content of ctype html, while an upload of a jpeg image will create a tt_content of ctype image.

2.1. Pre requisits

This extension relies on server protocols and server commands and needs system administration knowledge to make it work.

I'm trying to get it to be as « plug and play as possible » but it's going to be a time consuming goal to reach ;-)
