I agree, most of the plugins are in that folder. However, for 1.8, the fTools plugins are NOT in that folder! They are contained within the application (right click on QGIS in the applications folder, choose 'show contents', navigate to something called 'resources' and the fTools and GdalTools

HI Alistair, Good point, I didn't think about sending the data via WFS, but the problem there is you've got yet another intermediate layer to set up and maintain (ArcSDE one too many if you ask me!). A direct connect would obviate that problem which is why its our preferred solution. The fewer
