Utilizing streams, haXe makes it all too easy to direct file data wherever
you want, or direct almost any external data into a file. For instance, utilizing the haXe FTP functionality
from the Motion - Twin libraries, you could quite easily bind the handle from a File object and redirect
its data directly into a stream attained from a remote file, thus facilitating a transfer of file content, rather
than the file itself.

File and directory traversal functionality in Neko can be accessed from the neko.FileSystem class.
