System->Settings->FTP : Why FTP credentials are needed ?

Using OC 2.3.0.2 under System | Settings | Default Store | FTP tab, OC is asking to fill the FTP credentials of the web hosting. Why is needed that ? Where that credentials are used ?

Regards,

These credentials are only required if you're going to use the OCMod feature to upload extensions

Just to clarify, FTP credentials are needed to use the extension installer for .ocmod.zip bundles for full extensions. You can actually upload single ocMod files (ending in .ocmod.xml) without filling in FTP info.
