Yes, in many ways. I also wrote, a lot of time ago, a "simple file
transfer protocol", that was never released because I never
finished it. It basically allowed to open a file port on a remote
computer, and then control that port as if it were local. So, from
REBOL, you had access to the remote file system as if it were
local...

If it wasn't for the bug in SKIP on file ports, I think it would
be trivial to write. (You just COPY/PART from the source file port
and INSERT into the tcp port; on the other side you COPY/PART from
the tcp port and INSERT into the file port.)

Gabriele.
