Update #6: CloudFTP will be developer friendly
Ever since we announced the CloudFTP project, we have been getting a lot of request from end users and developers alike to add new interesting features. We are pleased to officially confirm that we will be releasing a Software Development Kit (SDK) for interested 3rd party developers to realize new features, extensions and plug-ins for the CloudFTP.
Some of the cool features suggested:- Making USB printers wireless
- Streaming video from a web cam
- Turning a USB cellular modem into a wireless hotpot
- Adding new network protocols (e.g. webdav, bonjour)
- And many more...
Please add your comments below if you are interested to be a CloudFTP developer or have questions pertaining to the SDK.
