I tested it but it does not work. Do you have files that need to be edited? No way could not be contacted.

Received the following warning;

Code:
Error
Unable to connect to backend.
Access denied.
Thankyou for help.

It seems like a permissions error. Can you check permissions for your server document root? Are you testing this on your computer or in a server?

While this mod makes things easy I would strongly urge people to consider not using it. This makes it very easy for someone who has access to your Admin CP to make files edits to your server- even if they otherwise have no other skills.

Yes, a skilled hacker can get similar access by creating custom plugins but this is like a red carpet.

If anyone has this installed please please please be sure you are using an Admin CP .htaccess password that will help keep people without permission out of your admincp and therefore, files.

You have to upload again files using your ftp or using vBFiner, whatever you prefer
The changed file is admincp/vbfinder.php if you don't want to upload again all the folders

I second that. AT first glance it reminded me to the Greek Hacking Group which used an exploit in vb to get into the admincp. They installed and used a very similiar file-system for acessing the server files from within the admincp last (?) year. They?d hidden that under the "?", where you normally can see hints and explanations. Don?t like the idea, but for others it may be useful.
