 * This plugin has no description, it is still in development and the name could
   be just something to attract people.
 * For all we know this is malware
 * DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT, WHY RISK your installation.
 * Only completed plugins should be published here

 * What was the issue with the plugin? You need to review the plugin itself.

 * You didn’t bother to install or even look at this plugin did you _before_ you
   made this review right?
 * > For all we know this is malware
 * Uh huh. Right. _*Lifts up coffee mug, makes noise about “I’m going to need you
   to go ahead and come in tomorrow”*_
 * Let’s look at the code.
 * _*Clicks on and [link browses source](http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/upload-to-ftp/trunk)*_
 * I don’t see anything that leaps out at me. I don’t quite get the point of the`
   update.php` file but that doesn’t mean this is malware.

 * Do you actually have an issue with this plugin or are you just guessing? If you
   do have an issue then please let us know what that is.

 * The update.php looks like it’s checking internally for versions and changing 
   a setting based on the version. Not malicious, just a complex way around a messy
   situation.
