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
Ok... Bear with a newbie here... I installed this and it loads fine from the CP but then I too cant modify files because of the CHMOD settings. After reading the previous 12 pages, do I understand it correctly that to fix this to be able to modify the forums files, I need to change the permissions of the folders I want to work in to 777? Or do all the files inside need to be changed as well?
Also, the server side setting adjustment mentioned a few times earlier that would need to be made by the host to fix this as another option, can this be done per site or is that a server global thing meaning if they do it, its goes across anyones site on that box?
Cool hack Erwin. Thank you. If I get the permissions thing beat it will be perfect for me to be able to work on the fly.

Change the folder first to 777 - that should be enough. If not, change the files inside as well. Do it with a separate FTP client. It is unlikely that your server is setup with permissions for you to change CHMOD of files and directories via PHP.
