#132 Could mkdirs within exponent be done with ftp operations?

[cnikiel]

Would it be possible to change the mkdir operations in
exponent to ftp style operations?
Say for every mkdir you go and open an ftp connection,
change to the proper directory and create it as the
user that normaly accesses the php files.

This way the user for the directory would be the same
as the user that can upload files.

So no more problems with safe_mode or any permissions
problems after creating a directory for pictures, new
themes or extension uploading.

This of course means a substantial change in the logic,
but it should be possible to get this running.

It also means that some additional configuration needs
to be done.
ftp-user, ftp-password, real-path to exponent vs. ftp
path to exponent.

But in the end it would open exponent to a whole lot
more people who do not have full control of the http
configuration.

Thanks and best regards,
