Rio has now been refactored so as to be cleaner and to avoid any such tricks as doesNotUnderstand: best regards Keith
*News:*
Rio has finally made it to (roughly) where it was planned to be all along. File manipulations that work locally should now also work remotely.
e.g.
dir := 'ftp://squeak:viewpoints@squeak.warwick.st/test/test/test' asRio mkpath. file := dir / 'hello.txt' contents: 'hello world'.
next := file rename nextVersion. next name. { hello.1.txt } next fileSize. {11}
next copyTo: 'local.txt'
*Limitations:*
Although you can obtain read or writeStreams directly into the remote file, it is not random access (yet?) therefore you cant currently write directly to the write stream of a remote gzip file (which you can do locally)
