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

This looks like a really nice hack. Know what would be very handy to add? An FTP upload feature with usergroup restriction so admins can give mods a place to upload files (like images they want to display inline) without needing to give them ACP access. I run into needing this all the time. For now I just give them FTP access to a subdomain but it would be really nice if they could upload stuff to a specified directory from within VB itself.

You just read my mind, I was going to ask for the same thing if posible, this will be a great improvement to this mod, and if you are using a portal system like vbadvanced you can let your moderators upload images to an specific directory to be used in the front page, and you don't have to worry about your mods doing any harm to your vbulletin's file system.

Any chance at a "Find" button for this?

Really GREAT HACK! Very FAST,easy to use and graphically beautiful.
I have commented the lines from 128 to 132 like RyoShin have suggested HERE.
I got the same problem of SnowBot (take a look HERE) and the only way to make things work was doing:

PHP Code:

$use_login    = false;            // Toggle login system (true/false).
 $auto_login    = true;            // Toggle auto login (true/false).
  $username    =    "myuser";    // Set a username
  $password    =    "mypass";    // Set a password. 


I don't know why the:

PHP Code:

$use_login    = true;            // Toggle login system (true/false).
 $auto_login    = true;            // Toggle auto login (true/false).
   $username    =    "myuser";    // Set a username
 $password    =    "mypass";    // Set a password. 


don't works

What do you mean by this? :ermm:

Excellent hack! No problems at all. I too, however, am not too well-versed in the ways of CHMODing, and I was wondering as well is there any sort of security risk making all folders CHMODed to 777?

Mainly only if you are on a shared server. If so, there is a risk.

This hack is a convenient hack for days without SSH/ FTP access.

Thanks, I am now using it regularly and am very happy with it, nice work!
