There's no reason that you'd even need Apollo to do that. Flash Player 9 already has all you need for building libraries to connect to all sorts of remote filesystems: sockets, binary and otherwise. Sockets are pretty much all you need for implementing whatever remote filesystem protocol that happens to float your boat, be it WebDAV, FTP, SCP or more esoteric protocols like SMB and NFS. From previous work I've done implementing WebDAV for AJAX applications over XMLHTTPRequest, I seriously doubt that'd take more than a day or two of effort. Some of the other protocols might be trickier though, especially if you need to re-implement some heavy lifting in the form of encryption algorithms for authentication or stream protection. Apollo, however, might make remote access in general easier for all of us if Adobe got rid of the crossdomain access restrictions for desktop applications though.
