won't let me vote for MOTM....

[Scanu]

Well you should ask to the staff for this problem.. :O However did you already installed the mod? Does it work?

[Disco_Dave]

Yes on a dev site first, I'm also in the middle of getting a new latest versions of cPanel and CentOS.

Seems to be working 100% Just more interested on how it logs in TBH

[Scanu]

I'm glad it worked You can search for elFinder documentation if you're intersted. If you're still wondering why it doesn't need login details, well it's like a file uploader.. Does a simple file uploader file need login details? No it wouldn't make sense

[Muhammad Rahman]

this secure ??

[Scanu]

Yes !! lol Only admins can access to the admincp so this is secure as vbulletin admincp protection

[Nirjonadda]

Scanu has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space.

[x iJailBreak x]

Not a bad idea, however I wouldn't use it. Not only do I have little need for it (as I'm rarely in FTP) but I don't like the idea of my filesystem being presented to anyone who manages to get into my admincp.

[Scanu]

Well as i said in the thread this is uncomplete, the final version will have a lot of options where you can choose userid or ip of who can view vbfinder or let just superadmins use it

I get this trying to open a php file to edit it:

File "public_html/forums/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx.php" is not in UTF-8 and cannot be edited.
