The real use-case for which I implemented is a bit particular (described below), but I'll resend with a more general explanation. For the curious: I have a wiki with ~2Gb of mediafiles, and I want to secure it without particular access to the server. I import the wiki on a desktop machine with a large disk, and re-export it to another webserver with a small disk quota. Importing mediafiles is good because it gives me a backup, but exporting them is not an option as my quota on the webserver is too small. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
