wants to know my FTP password in order to make updating plugins and<br>
themes easy. But, uh... it sounds kind of stupid to me to put in the<br>
password to my WordPress installation and just send it out over the<br>
Internet.<br>
<br>
What could WordPress possibly have had in mind? Is there any way to<br>
sufficiently secure that?<br>
