    Great localhost wannabees you found, pdonner!
    Hey fellows – any comments on theese “undocumented” features?

    esmi, Chip, apljdi?

    What do you do when I give you my FTP credentials?
    When you provide us with your FTP credentials we log into your site using FTP and change the permissions on files and directories such that it can be written by a file running on your server.

    Is changing the permission on my site essential?
    If you are asking in regards to WPAU absolutely. In order to complete the automatic upgrade we need write permissions to your site.

    When will be asked for my FTP credentials and why?
    You will only be asked for your FTP credentials when we cannot write to your server.

    That’s what pdonner also tries to do: When he cannot write to my server he asks for a password. Guess if he got one? Nope!

    Chip, I have a customer for you. No need for code-snippets any more.

    :O)

    Already accepted Chips solution to the security issue.

    But, ok. Let’s give your helpful wp-friends one more chance.

    Thanks for your intended helpfulness … very nice of you, indeed.

    But, pdonner won’t get any happier paying me to read through almost 5 Mb in 400 files. Only to make me sure that his ftp-update is done the way a nice and helpful writer claims on a thread somewhere out there.

    Hi,

    I’m the webmaster pdonner is talking about.

    apljdi: Surely your webmaster should be able to understand that.

    Yes, be sure he is able to understand that.

    But, he is also able to understand another way to fix the “download”.

    And, if he only has rumors to go on he thinks in worse-case-manner. That means no FTP and no passwords to anybody that refers to such a security.

    The best thing pdonner now can do is to ensure that his wp-updates are secure. A reference to any discussions on Internet won’t do. Neither a million-using-this-app-argument. (Anybody heard of Sony?)

    Perhaps a code-snippet or something. Until then it’s a big no-no.
