FTP for a plugin

Client crashed the db, after a reinstall I added ForDrivers theme, when I activated it is wants ftp information. What on earth does a plugin need my client's ftp login for?

Connection Information

To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host.


Or is this a new WordPress issue?
