Easy "hack" but counter-productive and not very security conscious.
Could you imagine the headache of an administrator running hundreds or
thousands of sites? I'm not a programmer so forgive me if the below is
completely invalid.

Reading through the posts I noticed this was based on the commons-net
http://commons.apache.org/net/ (supports FTPS btw). commons-vfs sounds
more like the right stuff http://commons.apache.org/vfs/ with support
for FTP, local files, HTTP/HTTPS, SFTP, zip/jar/tar/gzip/bzip2 and CIFS
is in dev (see http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XX-3628). It also
provides the URI formatting.
