Subject: Remove references to FTP, replace with FUSE.
X-Git-Tag: 1.0.85~19
X-Git-Url: http://git.annexia.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dabe72cb8b7b23cc6e6158d458327313b8a8495a;p=libguestfs.git

Remove references to FTP, replace with FUSE.

We originally intended to implement an FTP server (and before
than, an NFS server).  But we didn't implement either.  We
did however implement a FUSE service (guestmount) which takes
the place of both.
