removal of FTP access

[bulldogg]

it would be nicer to see a different means of creating the forum folders, i myself arent too keen on giving my ftp info, even if its not going to a person, there must be some other means of creating the folders

There is a way to do it using PHP, but the problem is that they are created as nobody since PHP runs as nobody. Because of that, you can't delete them. I will look into it and see if there is a work around.

Hmm... maybe an alternative build for those running phpSuExec? ;)
I'm personally fine with the FTP thing, since I'm the only one who sees it anyway, but it might help to cater to a wider range of users if there was the alternative.
Obviously, if they are not running phpSuExec, they'd just have to deal with the FTP option... once I was done smacking them around a bit for running without that added security of running php under the user instead of as some anonymous. :P

well, there could be an option to delete unused folders, say a forum that was called bla was created then deleted, you could have it check the db for bla and if its not there delete the folder

I'll see about adding the regular non-ftp feature. Perhaps I can make it a setting and so people can decide which they want to use.
