I would like to see an FTP server added so I can easily upload either third party modules or themes to the demo. That would also make the demo more applicable to people who have shared hosted accounts.

It is a good idea and originally "vsftpd" was included. Unfortunatly, I couldn't figure out how it worked so I removed it. It is one of the things I plan on getting working in the future, I'll make sure it is on the list.

As a work around, you can use "wget" which is included as well as "scp".

If you log into the server via cmd line (or ssh), you can use the command "wget" to fetch files. Something like "wget http://domain.com/file.ext". You can also use scp (or sftp) which are both based on SSH to get files to/from the appliance. WinSCP is a decent GUI client, but there are plenty of other ways. I personally would do an scp from one linux server/system to the gallery appliance. The format is something like "scp username@server:/path/to/file /local/path/" (briefly, it is "scp source destination" and either one is a remote system).
