XMLFTP - XML File Transfer Protocol,

Next-gen FTP, fixing some problems with FTP, namely:
  1. performance problems with small files
  2. uptight firewall admin-friendly (use one long-lived TCP session for all comunication)

Generally FTP is very old and very evolved protocol, so all/most known problems already have been solved ( TLS/SSL FTP encryption, then you hit problem with FTP conntrack not working, then you solve it by temporarily decrypting control session etc..).

Solving those problems with XML is possible and straight-forward.
