Plugin Autoupload System

1. I would actually like this idea, sort of like how they list the plugins for you right now, but instead of linking them, have a "one-click install" option.

2. I apologize for the number of links that will follow in this post, however, I feel that they contribute to the feasibility of the idea.

   Exactly. If the MyBB team wants some references:
   http://php.net/manual/en/book.ftp.php talks a lot about PHP FTP functions.

   Ftp_put would take a remote file and store it in a location
   http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-put.php

   Up a dir (cdup): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-cdup.php
   Down a dir (chdir): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-chdir.php
   Close connection (close): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-close.php
   CHMOD (chmod): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-chmod.php
   Delete file (delete): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-delete.php
   Remove dir (would pertain more to an uninstall process)(rmdir): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-rmdir.php
   SSL Connect (ssl_connect): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ft...onnect.php
   Rename a file/dir (rename): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-rename.php

   Say there was a simple plugin with a single plugin file, then you might be able to use:
   <?php
   $server = (some POST data the user enters);
   $user = (another input);
   $ftppas = (password input);
   $connection = ftp_connect($server) or die("Could not connect to the server");
   if(@ftp_login($connection, $user, $pass))
   { echo "Connected Successfully";
   (continue placing files --- will try and add more tomorrow... Getting too late)

   }
   ?>

   As a side note: the chmod function could be used in the install process when a newbie doesn't chmod stuff correct. It could also be used to create better security (make config.php 444 instead of 644 automatically---after install, not during lulz)
