jlatour 2005-12-06 18:43 reporter ~0011698	I suppose the software could handle this gracefully... could you check whether admin/check.php warns you about not having FTP support?

The check for whether an upload path is valid, file_ensure_valid_upload_path() uses the method is_writable() and is_readable() which are not supported with ftp according to http://dk.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.ftp.php Also the ftp settings: $g_file_upload_ftp_server $g_file_upload_ftp_user $g_file_upload_ftp_pass are not considered when validating the path. The only data passed down to the checking method is the path entered in the field on the project update page. Looks like it is related to this issue 0003734. Maybe it should be removed from the roadmap for the 1.2.x release?
