Why should the mod be tested per se in a live forum? The mod can be created and tested very well at the coder''s test forum and if it works there fine it will work on a live forum as well. The coder can ask for ex, the person who requested the mod, as to what other mods he/she has so it won''t create a conflict with the custom mod. He doesn''t need ftp access for it. And certainly not if the mods contains only a xml file.

I have made several custom mods for some members here and I never needed ftp access to their sites. I always created and tested them at my own test site where they tested it as well before hand before they bought it.
