Hey Guys

For those of us that doesn't have ftp access on our servers, it's not advisable to give out sftp details at any time. So how about some sort of ftp script included with developer tools that would allow a third party to be granted an admin account and give them access to the file system should the need ever arise?

Not sure about how to go about allowing upload, but I know on occasion when I've been working on a clients account in the ACP I've wanted to be able to download the skin to play with it on my local machine.

--edit--
This looks like what I think your talking about:

Looks like there are a few of them:

Not sure which one is the best, or which one is MPL compatible license. Suppose it wouldn't be too difficult to do an integration like how adminer ( the database admin ) is done though.

--edit--
This one is MPL licensed:

We're not going to put that into Developer Tools because we cant vouch for its security. The one I liked though was this one:

you just upload it and it works, no setup needed. I put it into a folder:
/ftp

then visited that in the browser and it worked.
