Plugin auto-updates without FTP for 1.4 | Forum

I've never been able to get auto updates for plugins working quite right so decided to take a look what it's doing and couldn't for the life of me see why Oxwall is even using FTP.  


So I decided to edit the plugins controller not to use FTP. 
Attached is a diff that shows what changes to make to the file /ow_system_plugins/admin/controllers/plugins.php
Good luck.

Hey Chris, sorry for a delayed reply and thank you for the hack. I will ask our developers to check into it and will get back to you with a reply.
