This is a use-case but I usually create the extension on my local setup 
and upload it via (S)FTP, as such I don't need the remote install to be 
able to modify my files, even the checksums are calculated and uploaded 
locally once the extension is finished. As I put it in a personal SVN 
repository anyway I need the whole available locally.

But I agree there are use cases. For instance photo galleries where 
users usually upload their photos from Web > File but, for larger, bulk 
upload, prefer to use a FTP tool.
