the reason is that I have had many FTP uploads fail and partial files
blocking further uploaing, which is a PITA. With ssh, partial uploads
do not happen (I think).

Anyways, "dht upload" should simply allow passing a parameter to dput
as HOST. Any maybe anyone who wants a non-default HOST should figure
out how to change dput’s defaults…

Greetings,
Joachim
