Hi,
I should want use XWiki as a platform to distribute java web start
applications.
I want some acces control : only register persons can get the jnlp
and jar
file.
I put the jars on the server by FTP with an ant task. I edit the
jnlp file on
the server with vim (or KEdit, if the X server is ok).
I don't want use the internal stuff in XWiki to edit or install
these files, I
use xwiki only to control the acces and to make a presentation page
(ex :
"Please clic here (here), it's my very good java application") of
the product.
How is it possible to get the FTP transfert inside a xwiki context ?
XWiki supports several remote access protocols:
* XMLRPC
* REST
* HTTP uploads
Forgot WebDAV too. You can probably FTP to a webDAV mount which means
the files you upload will directly find their way as attachments.

Why don't you use one of these? That would be the
simplest.
Another solution (but quite hacky) would be to use a groovy script
to look for files in a given directory and "install" them somewhere
in the wiki if found, and use the Scheduler to trigger this groovy
script every few minutes.
Again this is hacky and way less better than using REST or XMLRPC
for ex. which you can trigger using a crontab that does the same
thing as the groovy script but outside of xwiki.
Thanks
