Sorry for assuming @alfredb was part of the owncloud dev team.
But the basic question remains: Given that announcement by @DeepDiver1975, what options are there (will be there) to run (and maintain/update) owncloud on a hosted server without SSH access (only FTP)?
The announcement sounded like ‘none’ but maybe I am mistaken?
And the question related to ‘existing installations’ was more about maintaining and updating them - will that still be possible in the future, even without ‘occ’?
Edit: Just saw the latest post by @DeepDiver1975 - thanks for the more official reply, which still feels very ‘diplomatic’ to me. I would prefer some more clarity. I realize that this is open-source etc. but the question is: will there be support for non-SSH-enabled hosted servers, or am I on my own to get it running? I do not mind transferring files via FTP onto the server and editing text files, but if commandline tools will become an essential part of owncloud, I will never be able to run these with my current hosted environment.
My provider (1&1) is charging a lot for SSH-enabled servers, and moving to a different provider is a major effort as I need to migrate dozens of accounts, emails etc.
