There is this cool command called "cp" that works very well.  There
is another one called "tar" and even one called "scp" ;)  If the
problem is that we want to be more paranoid than we are with the
mirrors for the maven stuff, why can't we just get access and copy
the files we want to put in the staging repo?  Or write a simple
script that moves the kind of thing that I have sitting now in
http://people.apache.org/~psteitz/pool-1.5.6-rc2/maven/
to the "staging repository" and another script or command that
"promotes" it.  It seems ridiculous to me that we need to introduce
a proprietary GUI tool to just move files on ASF hosts.
