This is for security reasons. Otherwise i would have no control if someone started to abuse it. Thanks ;D

Also when a username/IP is banned it can no longer access the dynmap through any means.

Isn't there a way to host dynmap remotely? If drive space is an issue maybe we could setup a website on another host and remote mount the storage for the map tiles. I can help set it up if you'd like, I have servers with 3 different hosting companies.

Someone asked a similar question, here is the creator's response.

We don't support the files being on a remote box - some folks have done it by configuring in 'json file mode' (no internal web server), and then using their own methods to synchronize the files to a remote system (e.g. periodic runs of rsync). Essentially, when you have it configured for json-file mode, the web directory tree should be more or less copy-able and serve-able on its own - but, as I indicated, we don't support that (that is, you're on your own to set it up and get it working, as too much of what it takes to get something like that working has nothing to do with our plugin, and everything to do with the specifics of your hosting, operating system, web server, etc, etc)

This is getting out of my expertise, if you know of a way to accomplish all of this let me know. On this host I only have FTP access, you think you could make something work?

Yeah, his response is pretty much what I figured. If the host doesn't want you having shell access your options are more limited. If you have cron access (scheduled tasks) you might be able to run a script to do it. If not the remote server could log in on a regular interval and download files that have changed but that'd be more complex.

Also if a remote sever got on and downloaded the files, wouldn't that defeat the purpose? (The files are still being stored on the MC server.)
