I would recommend the built-in way though but note that this requires the core files to be owned by either the web server process or a ftp user so great care must be taken with permissions and .htaccess or in the server config. The ftp port does not have to be open to the public, it's just that Joomla needs a user being able to write the updates. The above goes for plugins and templates too. Best, //per
