Code review comment for lp:~moritzm/duplicity/duplicity

how about a similar solution like ssh? we periodically see users having issues with paramiko. it's good to have the alternative if the default fails for what reason ever.

never came around to do so, because i never needed it, like the patch does planned to establish lftp as a ftp backend, although as an alternative one. switching would have been done via url scheme eg.

lftp+ftp://
ncftp+ftp://

while at it i could streamline this switching for ssh as well eg.

paramiko+sftp://
pexpect+sftp://

retiring the --ssh-backend switch.

what do you guys think? ..ede
