Goofy Late Night Idea?

OK, so for whatever reason this thought just popped into my head and I think it would be a pretty cool feature for a database to have.

# From a remote server you type...

ftp server_name port

# Then use normal ftp commands...

cd resumes
bin
put 134564.doc
bye

Normally the file would be on a server someplace, but I am thinking it would be cool if Oracle could expose a table, such as RESUMES, as an ftp service/directory. So when the 'put' is done the file is stored in RESUMES table in the database. Basically it would be a Oracle owned ftp service which allows you to use normal ftp commands from another server to interact directly with an Oracle table by adding, getting and removing files.

I sure with a little code you could write something that basically does this but it would be neat if it was something your could just configure with a little DDL.

Oh well, like I said, just a late night thought.
