This is true, doing everything from inside an AGI script would be nicer, 
the ugly part comes if you are tied to an old and ugly FTP server, 
specially if its from a hosting provider that limits the connection 
count to 2, or so. AGI+sshfs/scp/nfs/whateverfs... would be much more 
clean&shiny (tm).
