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.

Enjoy!

Alright, it took me 3 hours to add these new features in, and it's 1:15 am here, so I'm going to bed. Let me know if you find any bugs. Good night all!

Let me know what you think if you do use it.

I just realized I forgot to update the version number to 2.0 in the ftp.php file and in my screenshots. I've just updated the ftp.php file for that minor cosmetic change. I'm too lazy to update the screenshots. But it should say version 2.0.

It's easy to change this:

In ftp.php, find:

PHP Code:

$version = "Version 1.0"; 


Change to:

PHP Code:

$version = "Version 2.0";

thank you very much.

i'm getting this

Warning: chmod failed: Operation not permitted in (name removed)/admin/ftp.php on line 253
Changed permission on to 0777.

here's the line in question.

chmod($home_dir.$path.$file,$level);

is that the server restrictions you were referring to erwin, or is this a potential bug?
thanks.

[Erwin]

The message you are getting is "Operation not permitted" - your server doesn't allow you to chmod via your browser.

Excellent work Erwin
It is super handy to have this.
Especially when you need to do some emergency work to your board from a PC other than your own
Congratulations and thankyou

Is it what was discussed in general hacking chat ?
Basically a 'template' like editing system but for all your php files ?
If so, cant wait to see it
