IIRC, I wasn't happy with parts of the original proposed implementation,
especially with the client-side security implications of creating
local directories based on server-provided paths.

A while ago I implemented a fileindir() function that could
potentially be used to help sanity check the paths provided by the
server during the auto-creation of local directories.  If someone
wanted to reimplement the original proposal using this function to
validate stuff, feel free.  I personally don't have the time to
look at this myself.
