Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

One of the great features of the Calendar component is that calendars can be
easily shared using an FTP server, making it easy for relative novices to set up
sharing between work PCs and home PCs, or in a home networked environment. I
think it would be great to add similar functionality for address books.

I know that there is already this possiblity using LDAP, but thought the FTP
connection would be easiest for the small business "admin" and the home user.

Isn't this a dupe of bug 232387?
