The HTML version of Steve's Key Index looks very much like a windows
explorer window of a virtual drive. The only thing is it has a difficult
interface for adding keys to the index. And I can't figure out how to
add keys to an index useing the freenet cli client. GRRR!!
An FTP interface would be nice, but it would have to be like a local FTP
server right? Well, anyway, it could work out really good I think. :)
I have a local FTP server that I can setup to use on my PC. If I had a
vdrive program for freenet I could add it to the FTP server.
