Comment (by DD32):
Reasons not to use ajax:
* AJAX is not the solution to everything, Nor does it make things
'cleaner'
* Requires JavaScript
* Breaking it into multiple chunks makes the code much more complex, and
requires passing the FTP username back and forth from the blog multiple
times (in your scenario, about 6-8 times over a likely non-encrypted link)
* Working in a non-JS version to handle every other case where JS is not
available, or they choose not to use it, means its yet another function to
link them all together.
* Keeping track of temporary files between pages
I've not seen any reasons that would cause the need for a JS version, So
i'd personally recommend against it myself.. But a lot of the rest of
!WordPress is starting to use it.. but wherever its used, there is usually
a fall-back.
