Joomla and FTP

[kilburn]

I think you've misunderstood something here.

First, what fluser means is that you can upload the extensions directly to the server and they will work just as fine as if you do directly through joomla's admin interface. Hence, I think it's a perfectly nice advice, and not rude by any means.

Second, net2ftp (not web2net) is no more secure than FTP in any way. In fact, it uses FTP underneath, acting as a bridge between the HTTP and FTP transports. Thus, there's no reason to avoid giving your users FTP access if you let them upload things through net2ftp.

Finally, ispcp lets you create FTP accounts for the domains pretty easily. You do *not* need to manually create system users nor anything like that...
