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

OMG i have acess to look at every file on my host server.... wow i could just go dealete crazy....XD but then i wouldnt have my forum or site >.> i think this hack shouldnt be avaible to the public all thought its awsome im just worried =/

[lancepoint]

yea i just installed and instead of forcing it to the home path defined in the ftp.php file it took me to my host account root!

is there anyway to force the directory? How would i go about making another usergroup in which only has access to ftp.php inside of admincp/ directory?

The Way I have it setup now ... well planned on it until i noticed after aadding the link to vbftp on nav breadcrumb navigation... that the user must have administration rights. What i need is a usergroup modified in the script or where ever it needs to be edited to give certain users rights to acces ftp.php in the directory and only ftp.php.

Please Any Help Would Be Greatly Worshiped!!!

Hi Erwin... I'm having a strange issue that I'm hoping you can help me with.

I'm having problems viewing images. I have 1 of a couple problems... just depending on the config.

1) Using the "../tmp/" as the temp directory I get an "This might be caused by an invalid image type or because you haven't set public read and write access on the temporary directory." error. I've checked the directory it's got full access (BTW it's on a Win2003 server)
2) When I use the full path <drive>:<install path to forums>/tmp/". It doesn't give me an error but it doesn't display the image becasue it's trying to go to that path in the browser.
3) When I use "http://www.domanname.com/forums/tmp'" it works for a few images, then all of the sudden it starts giving me the same error as #1

I'm confused... hoping you might be able to shed some light. Thanks!

You've chmod the tmp directory to 0777?

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

And not just for mods, but how about for any user you wish to give a bit of FTP space to?

I must say that I am particularly fond on a CGI script called eFileMan. It is a free script and has all of the features you could ever want. To see this level of functionality included or have this ported over to PHP/vB would be the most awesome addition for this hack!
