Reasonable..

You mean "ftps", don't you? (as in ftp with TLS) . "sftp" is rather "ftp over 
ssh" which is AFAIK non-standard (and is only supported in linux clients). In 
OpenERP, the huge hurdle is the way SSH server keys need to be managed inside 
a python library. This makes administration of any SSH-through-openerp a pain, 
and is also insecure because of the single-process nature of python.

If they mandate FTP, how come they don't also allow HTTP? You know, WebDAV is 
a superset of a RESTful HTTP server...

Also, one note: the old lib was v0.4 . The new is v0.7 or something. Note that 
they both are "0.x" releases, probably meaning that their API is not stable 
yet.

Title:
  Update document_ftp pyftpdlib version

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi guys,

  Working on document_ftp module, I realized that the pyftpdlib
  http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/ used by OpenERP is out of date
  since 2008, event in V7. Three major version of the binary was missed.

  We are using document_ftp in a very intensive ftp project and we have
  some problem which are corrected in the latest version of pyftpdlib.
  We are managing theses problems, but for others projects I strongly
  suggest to make the version upgrade pyftpdlib 0.4 to 0.7 in trunk
  asap.

  Regards,
  Yannick.
