 Hello.
 Currently wordpress supports upgrading of plugins, themes, etc... through
 FTP connection to website host. but PHP enables upgrading without using
 obsolete FTP protocol. You can download the latest version of desired
 zip/tarball using copy() and then unzip archive to it's destination. This
 can be done only if permissions are set well.

 I would like that feature, because i want automatic upgrading using single
 click, but i do not want to install FTP server, which i've found useless
 and insecure. For example: dokuwiki handles plugin updates this way -
 without need for FTP connection.
