Admin CP File Manager (FTP) - Download, Upload, Edit, Rename, Delete PHP Files/Images

vB Admin CP File Manager (FTP) 1.2 - a File Manager/ FTP client for vBulletin 3.x.x
vB Admin CP Integration by Erwin Loh

Updated for vB 3.0.7
Totally revised with new code
Previously called vB FTP

UPDATED: This replaces vB FTP 1.0. The whole hack is changed - to install, you need to basically uninstall the old vB FTP hack and reinstall this. It's based on an updated version of what the old hack was based on but I've changed the directories, made changes to most files to make it work with vBulletin and added a search feature to the edit panel.

Improvements: Eliminated need for a /tmp/ directory. Also, you can now select different languages - refer to config file for more information.

It's possible to run both the old and the new together as I've renamed the files.

I suggest using the new version as it fixes a few old bugs and is much better.

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 file manager/ secure FTP interface to your vB Admin CP. You can edit, delete, download, upload, create, or rename PHP files, OR do the same for directories, all from within the comfort of your Admin CP through your browser.

Use this hack to install hacks on the fly.

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) File Editor with Search functions (feature added by Erwin)
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 File Manager file (configurable)
8) FTP functions straight from within your Admin CP!!!
9) Select other languages!

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

YOU MUST FOLLOW ALL THESE STEPS FOR THIS TO WORK PROPERLY! NOTE: This hack requires PHP 4.1.0 installed or better.

Instructions in the "Installation.txt" file of the attachment. It's easy - uploading 1 file and 2 directories to your admin directory, and then editing your admin/index.php file so you can link to the filemanager.php file.

1. You need to edit /admincp/vbfm/config.inc.php to point to your forum's absolute directory server path for this hack to work properly.

2. Files that are to be edited or directories where you want to upload need to be chmod 0777.

Once this is installed, you can just click on the "vB File Manager" link in your Admin CP on the left column underneath your "vBulletin Options" to access this.

Update
--------

Version 1.1 - Fixed a path bug in filebrowser.inc.php
Version 1.2 - Corrected spelling mistake in footer.inc.php, updated version number in config.inc.php

Editing PHP File's through your mod give's error's when saved, have to do it through wordpad or dreamweaver instead of through the site which is a let down, but ah well.

Whenever I download a file from it, it inserts some of the vbftp HTML into the bottom/top of the file. Also, do I have to CHMOD every file I want to edit?

Erwin, would updating or do you think it was a problem with my installation. If so, I'm probably going to update, I love it.

Would you discourage chmod777 on forums dir on a shared server? I hate having to upload in web client (damn router, but thats another story), this is so much more convenient.

AweSOME! I'm just loving it!

No matter how I tried, these are the two message I got.
========
Creation of folder failed.

This might be caused by insufficient permissions.

I wouldn't chmod 0777 on a shared server. Other users could run scripts on your site.

Chmod 0777 the directory you want to create new directories in.

Erwin, I have my webserver split onto two servers. Thus, any changes made need to be ported to both of them. Does your hack support this? Or how can I change it to support this?

thanks!
