Todd, i understand your desire to have such a feature in the Community Edition, but I don´t think this will happen in near future.
If i understood correctly then tsNET is a 3rd party product which Livecode Ltd. has acquired or however this is called. So they have paid money for that. The tsNet external is really a big win for us and i think it is just fair that this is only included in the commercial licenses. Why? Because there must be a difference between a free license and a paid license otherwise everyone would use the free one. And there must be a feature difference between different Indy and Business license t for the same reason. Btw. Xojo does it the same. The more you pay, the more you´ll get. With one exception, they are not offering a free version. LibURL does and did its job more or less well for years. So at least there is the possibility to do asnynchronous operations. Although i am a 1-man company and my revenues are less than $500,000 a year and although i have a lifetime Indy license i have subscribed for a business license just because of its features and the possibility to get priority support if ever needed. The indy license btw.allows only 1 seat per organisation. A Seat (regardless if Indy or Business) are for one named developer and cannot be shared. If you need more seats you have to purchase a business license with the appropriate number of seats. It seems not all customers are/were aware of these terms in the past. Otherwise Livecode Ltd. would not have sent out an email in October to all Indy/Business customers with some information about the license terms and the requirement to sign a digital license agreement. What i would vote for is to add SFTP (synchronous) feature to the Community Edition to allow secure FTP transfers.
