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

Hmmm.... Wonder how I did that... HAHAHA! I'm my own host

Guess I need to go pick up that Red Hat book huh

Erwin: It should be possible since it has been done for another forum software... Take your time... Im not rushing anyone to do it... just to let you know it would be a nice idea if it could be included. (By the way... I sent you a PM)

Looks like a nice hack.. I'll have to add this one to my "to-do" list.

No.

I made it so you cannot point to remote or separate drives or servers, to prevent leeching.

Erwin, is there a way to copy files into the temp directory with this hack so we can edit them and copy them back to the right dir? That would fix the problem of having to chmod everything, wouldn't it?

[a43079]

ok is there a way i can change that just so i can access my other drive...or no way possible.....

Thanks for the quick answer..

No, because once you copy a file to the temp directory, and edit it, you can't copy it back as you cannot replace a directory or file without chmodding it.

Oops... sorry, I thought you were asking about my Flash Player hack! That's why I was talking about pointing and leeching...

Mmm... changing drives... I don't think so. You may have to just put the vBftp.php file on the separate drive.

The reason I asked is because both EditPlus2 and Total Commander allow me to edit files even when they are not the right chmod. They copy them to a temp dir first, edit them and then copy them back without having to change anything.
