Thats exactly what i'd like to do, ftping over manually is patchy, and the
registry is all out of wack. So install via frontend on a development
machine users may not have root access too, then sync to the live server in
a directory that has access. By default pear is store in a place with root
only access which is fine but has caused alot of pain.
