title: Foswiki: Uploading and downloading topics without FTP
body: <p>I have a Foswiki wiki on a server. Is it possible to script the following without FTP access (for various reasons I can't use it):</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Download a topic's wikitext, modify it locally, then upload it again (overwriting the topic)</p></li>
  <li><p>Upload wikitext to a new topic</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I've been doing these tasks manually, but I'd like to automate them. I've looked into the Foswiki API and a few plugins, but nothing seems capable of doing this. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way? (any programming language)</p>
