Wow, I had not. That is a pretty cool little program there. However, I mean them no disrespect, but I see bad juju when it comes to security. Anytime you start having to chmod everything to 777 I get nervous.

However, you are correct that something like that could be kind of cool for TheHerk. I have some file handing capabilities, but left most of it to FTP. If enough people show interest, I may just add a few more complex modules like recursive file editing/handling.

Thanks for you input,
Herk

follow-up - Yeah that program is definitely death to security. I reallized that I can go up directories to my non web accessible directories. That's craziness. I could view my secure files with passwords to databases. Still a cool program though. Any program that lets you create and edit the php files themselves has the potential to be bad.
