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

I have added a textfile to the ZIP called "ExtraFeatures" with the same instructions.

If you like this, please click the INSTALL link at the bottom of the thread, so that I can send you updates!

Enjoy!

Thanks,

That's good to know. I do mean like the feature that's in the template mod area. Screen attached

It's possible, but I won't do it, because it works the same as the CTRL-F button in your browser, so there's not much point bulking up the file for no real reason.

I use CuteFTP Pro too ITs the best especially the html editer built within.

Also Tha Rock it is not completly dangerous only people whom are on your server, and know your absolute path can upload files to your site, as long as you have your site# used in your path then its basically impossible. But i am sure there are other ways which I do not know, the average person does not know how, or doesn't have intentions to cause harm.

Anyways good hack Erwin

Doesn't work for me, when I load ftp.php it's just a blank page, all white. I edited the file to try both OSes, still nothing. Ideas?

Server running on FreeBSD / PHP v4.0.6 Safe Mode

This is literally useless for editing files without a find feature.

Can't you just go to "edit -> find" in the Internet Explorer menu bar at the top? As for a FIND & REPLACE feature, just download TEXTpad (best free text editor out there) and use it's powerful FIND & REPLACE feature.

This is a great hack 100% will use it but will wait awhile for ppl to find bugs...

I've added the FIND feature for editing files in Version 2.0 as requested.

This needs PHP 4.1.2 or higher. Sorry. You should get your host to upgrade, since 4.0.6 is fairly old.

I currently have something like this in development but its ment for hacking.

OMFG this hack is so perfect for me! I have been looking for something like this for a long time! Thank you so much! You see at school I don't have access to get through the proxy so I can't use an FTP program but with this I don't need to! Thanks alot!
