vB FTP 2.1 - a FTP client for vBulletin
vB Admin CP Integration by Erwin Loh

Have you ever wanted to edit, download or upload files to your server or edit one of your forum PHP files, but have no access to an FTP client?

Well, this is the hack for you. It basically adds a secure FTP interface to your vB Admin CP. You can edit, delete, download, upload, create, or rename files, OR do the same for directories, all from within the comfort of your Admin CP through your browser.

Version 2 update
1) Ability to SEARCH while editing a file (similar to the search feature when editing templates)
2) Ability to view and change CHMOD of files and directories

Version 2.1 update
1) Fixed a view IMAGE cache bug
2) Fixed version number bug

- features as requested!

NOTE: The CHMOD feature can only work if you have set up your server to allow file permission changes - most servers will NOT allow you to CHMOD files or directories through your browser for security reasons.

Features
--------------

1) Integrated into vB Admin CP - uses Admin CP cp.css style
2) Create, delete, rename directories
3) Create, delete, rename, edit, upload or download files
4) Ability to view and change CHMOD of files and directories (if this is set up on your server!)
5) View, Zoom In/ Zoom Out with GIF/ JPG files
6) Different icons for different types of file (configurable)
7) Ability to password protect the vB FTP file (configurable)
8) FTP functions straight from within your Admin CP!!!

Installation
-----------------

YOU MUST FOLLOW ALL THESE STEPS FOR THIS TO WORK PROPERLY! NOTE: This hack requires PHP 4.1.2 installed or better.

Instructions in the "Installation.txt" file of the attachment. It's easy - uploading 1 file to your admin directory, and uploading images to the images/ftp subdirectory, and then editing your admin/index.php file so you can link to the ftp.php file.

Once this is installed, you can just click on the "vBFTP" link in your Admin CP on the left column underneath your "Control Panel Home" to access this.

Additional Features (already inbuilt)
----------------------------------------------

1. Password Protect vB FTP.
2. Toggle functions of FTP on or off.
3. Type of files you can edit.
4. Hide files or directories.
5. Changing the timeout (if you have trouble downloading or uploading large files).
6. Going higher in the directory structure, all the way up to ROOT

Click on this link to read instructions on how to use these in-built features now:

I have added a textfile to the ZIP called "ExtraFeatures" with the same instructions.

If you like this, please click the INSTALL link at the bottom of the thread, so that I can send you updates!

Enjoy!

The login shouldn't be there if you left the username and password blank. Download the ZIP and upload a fresh unchanged copy of ftp.php to your admin folder again, making sure to only change the NT setting to 1.

Working fine until:

Edit: Sorted, I hadnt CHMODed the files - how stupid of me

getting this error when CHMODing a directory/file:

Quote:

Warning: chmod failed: Operation not permitted in /home/ffdcsite/public_html/forums/admin/ftp.php on line 253
Changed permission on to 0777.:Back:.

Erwin · #98 11-03-2002, 06:17 PM

Like I said in the first post, most servers disallow browser-based CHMODDING of files.

assassingod · #99 11-03-2002, 06:28 PM

Ah, yes I missed that. I see

Thanks for the hack Erwin!

Amazing!!! How do you guys do it? best hack so far.

Darkwaltz4 · #**101** 11-10-2002, 08:46 PM

wow, ill havta say that while my co-admin thought such a add-on would be useless, i find it cuts down on so may things..

since im always hacking my boards, the ability to search files, and save them live is great! it removes about 3 major steps in hacking--excellent..
