I understand... The issue I am struggling with is the fact that
directories and files uploaded with FTP are not writable for user PHP.

After installing my application on a server, it provides some nice guis
for editing configuration files or translate language files, but of
course those files or their destination folders have to be chmoded
first. So I wrote an FTP class that can do this, using the same FTP
login as the one that uploaded the application. I hoped to make the FTP
class able to translate the absolute paths from PHP into the FTP user's
directory structure.

I think I will add a configuration option to enter the appropriate FTP
base directory and hand it over to the FTP class.

Thank you for your clarification!
