This won't work in the standard ftpd because we write the entire file
in a single call to write(2).

Maybe by the end of this year we'll manage to make a public release of
ISPS and then you can configure a link-share class for FTP data.... (I
wouldn't hold my breath, though, as trying to get code out of my boss
is like trying to get code out of Van Jacobson.)
