No files uploaded/ftp workaround on Adelphia?

[Brian Esser]

Ok I know file uploading is turned off on my crappy host (Adelphia). They say they have it off for security reasons. They told me I need to use ftp in php to upload files. Is there any way I can find a work around? Here's my debug, Thanks in advance.

finding a workaround would mean finding a loophole in your webhost's security concept. I'm afraid there is probably none.

P.S. Bedug putput won't help in this case
