Hi Joe,

You could use PyXPCOM and then create an extension that handles the
loading of the ftp server, re-use an existing Python ftp server would be
relatively straight forward, such as:
http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/

You'd include the pyftpdlib code in your extension, under the "pylib"
directory, then you can use PyDOM to import this code and play with it
directly, or create a Python XPCOM interface that wraps around the
necessary Python methods and is thus exposed to JavaScript.

Cheers,
Todd
