Re: Has anyone looked into writing an SSH backend for file uploads?

Or Samba, too.  I suggested sshfs because the OP said "over SSH".
Also, it takes *no* set-up on the server--just have ssh running.  Not
that NFS is hard to set up, of course--just requires some actual
work.  And who wants to do that?

It might be even easier to just set up an NFS mount of the other
machines. It would be a lot like Jeff's idea, but NFS is pretty tried
and true. (I don't know anything about SSHFS, it might be really good
too.)

Instead of trying to get Django to do something like that, have you
looked into using sshfs?  That would make it essentially transparent--
all Django would know is that it's saving a file to a filesystem.

One option would be to have all the files uploaded locally, but the
handler would additionally copy to the other locations. The other
would just to be to have some exception handling. File uploads aren't
a site user task for us, so short periods of broken upload
capabilities are tolerable.

What if one of the machines was unresponsive at the time of the upload?
