Story

A repository contributor has a significant number of large (100GB?) files in a data center. Ingesting them into the repository over HTTP would be very slow (and, from a browser, sometimes impossible?). The repository administrator is not fluent in XACML and can't be bothered to write appropriate policies for handling file:// URIs. The repository could provide a way to spin up a temporary FTP(/samba share/??) for the user to upload (or download?) files, while still enforcing policies.

For export, the accessor wants to put the file onto remote storage (via FTP, NFS share, etc) for data analysis. The file is big enough that download and then upload would take prohibitively long. Instead, the accessor would like to have Fedora place the file directly into the remote storage.
