Are you talking strickly FTP or an app that which filezilla can do sending files straight to storj though the app.

Seems like you’d be using double bandwidth, but shouldn’t be hard to do.

I have suggested a usage as FTP here already: [Has Storj ever looked into the cctv market?](https://forum.storj.io/t/has-storj-ever-looked-into-the-cctv-market/5578/10)

It could open a door to a huge market.

True. That’s a huge market for PRACTICAL usage.

What other things we can do aside of FTP.
