Description:

Originally part of the 1.4.0 new features, remote installation through
FTP, FTPS and SFTP is now its own package. This package adds the
commands "remote-install" "remote-upgrade" "remote-uninstall" and
"remote-upgrade-all" to the PEAR core.

To take advantage, you must have a config file on the remote ftp
server and full access to the server to create and remove files. The
config-create command can be used to get started, and the
remote_config configuration variable is set to the full URL as in
- ftp://ftp.example.com/path/to/pear.ini,
- ftps://user:pass@ftp.example.com/path/to/pear.ini,
- ssh2.sftp://user:pass@ftp.example.com/path/to/pear.ini"

After this is done, install/upgrade as normal using the remote*
commands as if they were local.

In PEAR status of this package is: alpha.
