Export WP Theme Without FTP WordPress
- SOLVED
Is there a way to export a theme that is installed on a WP site without going through FTP?
I need to download a theme a client is currently using (already installed and activated) but they do not have access to their ftp, I was hoping there was some sort of way to export this all of the theme files.
Yes, I could always go into the appearance "editor" and create exact file names and copy/past it over, but the own downfall of this is it will take awhile and it will be a bitch to do directories in the theme (ie. image directory, css directory, etc.)

Actually, using a plug-in won't work. Whoever did this install did a very crappy job and didn't set permissions to install a plugin via the admin. So I can't even install a plug-in (this one for example).

I just decided to manually move everything but this would have worked. Thanks.

Shell access?

Not sure what that is but all I have is access to the wp-admin (under an administrator username).
