ftp

Under development…

ftp can be easily integrated into your sketches using edtftpj.

This is the Processing equivalent of the out-of-the-box demo supplied with edtftpj. Working with threads means you can have a ftp system running alongside your sketch to avoid having to wait for ftp tasks to complete.

You'll need to upload the zipped sketchfolder of your hack, in order to offer it as download. The wiki has an upload button in the editor toolbar (2nd last on the right). Please choose the “hacks” namespace as target…
