Hi!

I need to detail a bit the file rights issue.

You can't have a file manager where you upload files unless the web 
server has the right to write in that directory. If you are more of a 
tech savvy guy you can always use a FTP client to upload files there.

I tried to take precautions to keep XHP as secure as possible. In this 
particular case, by not permitting unauthenticated users to upload.

There are other directories that need write permissions. You can live 
without write permissions on them, but you won't be able to upload 
modules, language packages, templates or images. If you don't want to 
leave write permissions, you can change them only when you perform 
actions that require them (things that involve uploading files).

If anyone has ideas to improve this... I'm all ears. :)
