Could you build this?
Partial A basic CLI tool is simple, but streaming and parsing compressed multi-format archives (RAR, 7z, exFAT) over network sockets without extracting to disk requires deep systems and file format protocol work.
What it would actually take: Requires writing or binding low-level archive streaming parsers (libarchive, unrar, 7-zip) that can parse file headers, decompress individual file streams in-memory with chunked pipelines, and simultaneously stream them over FTP/FTPS control and data sockets (RFC 959). The difficult challenge is handling non-seekable streams, random access across solid archives, and memory buffering constraints. This requires low-level systems programming in C, Rust, or Go with detailed knowledge of compression algorithms.
