Download, Upload, Edit, Rename, Delete, CHMOD Files or Dirs in Admin CP

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

You run a site off a 56k modem connection??? LOL! I am impressed! I will try to catch it when you're online.

[Davey]

Well anything's possible, no matter how insufficient it may be =P. Besides it's not even completely setup yet. I gotta edit forum permissions yet, *rolleyes*.
Yeah, Edwin you're a moderator, you can find my site from there and keep trying it. Eventually you will get lucky =).
But I can't find any relevant text in php.ini that could determine whether CHMOD is on/off. I did glimpse down it, by the way.

Dave.

PS: If you are on MSN/AIM, PM me the addy =D I will contact you and set it up just for you =) =P =D.

I would guess that your using Windows, if your using IIS then there isn't CHMOD, you need to edit the security settings for the files to determin what access ISS has to them and uses browsing the site.

Actually I would like to find out how to do the CHMOD remotely as well. I have it on Red Hat 7.2 w PHP 4.1.2

And Davey e-mail me at brian@[NoSpam!!]networkstoday.com or AIM @ BigCheezeAOC and we can talk about hosting you.

[Davey]

Okay, what is of my forum is open, as of now (4:29pm GMT(0)).
Check it out if you want to, but it's not a pretty site at the moment.
I emailed you BigCheeze.

Dave.

fantastic!!!!

I'm now closing my server for a while, since packet kiddies found out about the DNS address.

[Erwin]

These packet kiddies...

[high]* Erwin shakes his head... [/high]

[Davey]

That's the only reason I don't like putting up servers of any kind (forums, websites, IRC, etc.), because they ALWAYS find a way of spoiling it.
Sad really, isn't it?

Dave.

I've had this hack installed for a couple of weeks now and been very impressed with it. However, in the last couple of days it's just stopped working with no warning. I've not knowingly changed anything in my server setup, now have I (knowingly) changed any files.

Is there anything that my hosts could have changed to stop it working? They had some downtime for routine maintenance a couple of days ago and it hasn't seemed to work since then. WHat sort of things should I be looking for and asking them?

When I click the vBFTP link in Admin CP all I get is a white background load in the main frame - and nothing else - no errors.

Cheers,
Dave
