Changing FTP password for host w/o having ill effects on zenphoto installation

Hey guys, I need to change the password on my hosting account. I already have a great zen photo installation on the server.

Simple question - Will changing my FTP password which was used to initially setup the zenphoto installation affect zen photo now that it's already setup?

If it will affect it, where can I update the FTP password (zen photo config file, etc) so zen photo doesn't freak out?

Thanks!
Danny

    Zenphoto shouldn't be aware of any FTP info whatsoever. The only info the setup script asks for is for SQL; is that what you meant? If so, then changing your SQL user's password will necessitate changing the info in `zp-config.php` in the `zp-data` directory. This can either be done manually or by running setup again.

    Perfect! For some reason I remember it needing FTP info for things like uploading images and writing to folders that it creates on my server for image albums and such. Am I just losing my mind? :/

    Well, you can upload images by FTP, but Zenphoto only cares that images are there and not how they get there. As far as I know, Zenphoto has never required FTP info to function.

    If you are losing your mind, then at least you get some convenience out of Zenphoto first. :)
