Git Annex FTP backend, particularly for iWeb FTP (create a space called "Annex" and include your username and password in the source to use, for now).

# git annex initremote iwebftp type=hook hooktype=ftp encryption=none

from ftplib import FTP

key = os.environ.get('ANNEX_KEY')
file_ = os.environ.get('ANNEX_FILE')

if cmd == 'store':
    try:
        f.mkd(path)
        f.delete("%s/%s" % (path, key))
    except:
        pass
    f.storbinary("STOR %s/%s" % (path, key), open(file_, 'rb'))
elif cmd == 'retrieve':

    f.retrbinary("RETR %s/%s" % (path, key), fi.write)
elif cmd == 'remove':
    f.delete("%s/%s" % (path, key))
elif cmd == 'checkpresent':
    f.voidcmd('TYPE I')
    try:
        if f.size("%s/%s" % (path, key)):
            print key

        pass

Thanks for sharing the script! I've forked it and added some command line flags to avoid any harcoded connection parameter, see em-/8139438, which is what I'm using it right now.

Would you be interested in converting this gist in a fully flegged github repo where pull requests can be submitted?

Thanks again!
