Rails - Feb 2006 - Accessing Strongspace from a rails app

Is there any information on how to go about accessing a strongspace 
account from a rails app?  What are the preferred methods for doing 
this?

Are there plugins for RoR that support SFTP transfers and so on?

Does a anyone from the Strongspace camp have any input on this?  It 
would be useful for me to add Strongspace storage capability to my app.

yes, this would be great. basecamp does the sftp thing to strongspace, 
although when you try to access the files that have been uploaded, it 
goes to the login page to continue, due to strongspace''s secure nature.
it''d be great if there was a way around this, perhaps using a rails 
send_file or something like that that would log in to the strongspace 
account to access the file and send it to the user, rather than the user 
having to log in. not sure if that''s possible with their model though.

I haven''t actually used basecamp''s file storage methods.  How
does it
handle Strongspace -- I guess I figured it provided a gateway through to 
Strongspace.  Is this not the case?
