Script Daemon by Peter Lewis maybe? I got it to work, but it didn't do much
useful that I could see.

There's a telnet server for UserLand Frontier
<http://www.scripting.com/frontier/> that utilizes NetEvents, which will
allow you to execute Frontier scripts remotely, after logging in etc. One
of the commands provided with the server is "hfs" (not to be confused with
the NetBSD program of the same name); you can copy and move files, navigate
directories, etc. with it. Since it's all script-implemented, it's simple
to extend.

And now it supports read/write HFS it's considerably more useful. It's
interesting comparing folder opening times (even with custom icons) on BeOS
and OS 8 Finder - BeOS is about twice as fast in most cases. I usually
leave my umax booted into BeOS with the FTP server running for accessing
files remotely. Faster than NetPrezenz, and it's free.
