Admin CP File Manager (FTP) - Download, Upload, Edit, Rename, Delete PHP Files/Images

vB Admin CP File Manager (FTP) 1.2 - a File Manager/ FTP client for vBulletin 3.x.x
vB Admin CP Integration by Erwin Loh

Updated for vB 3.0.7
Totally revised with new code
Previously called vB FTP

UPDATED: This replaces vB FTP 1.0. The whole hack is changed - to install, you need to basically uninstall the old vB FTP hack and reinstall this. It's based on an updated version of what the old hack was based on but I've changed the directories, made changes to most files to make it work with vBulletin and added a search feature to the edit panel.

Improvements: Eliminated need for a /tmp/ directory. Also, you can now select different languages - refer to config file for more information.

It's possible to run both the old and the new together as I've renamed the files.

I suggest using the new version as it fixes a few old bugs and is much better.

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 file manager/ secure FTP interface to your vB Admin CP. You can edit, delete, download, upload, create, or rename PHP files, OR do the same for directories, all from within the comfort of your Admin CP through your browser.

Use this hack to install hacks on the fly.

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) File Editor with Search functions (feature added by Erwin)
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 File Manager file (configurable)
8) FTP functions straight from within your Admin CP!!!
9) Select other languages!

Installation
-----------------

YOU MUST FOLLOW ALL THESE STEPS FOR THIS TO WORK PROPERLY! NOTE: This hack requires PHP 4.1.0 installed or better.

Instructions in the "Installation.txt" file of the attachment. It's easy - uploading 1 file and 2 directories to your admin directory, and then editing your admin/index.php file so you can link to the filemanager.php file.

1. You need to edit /admincp/vbfm/config.inc.php to point to your forum's absolute directory server path for this hack to work properly.

2. Files that are to be edited or directories where you want to upload need to be chmod 0777.

Once this is installed, you can just click on the "vB File Manager" link in your Admin CP on the left column underneath your "vBulletin Options" to access this.

Update
--------

Version 1.1 - Fixed a path bug in filebrowser.inc.php
Version 1.2 - Corrected spelling mistake in footer.inc.php, updated version number in config.inc.php

I can't answer this because I have no idea what the problem is.

hmmm... I thought I quoted "BigCheeze's" message...

Basically I can ftp and have everything working fine but I cannot view any images. I get this error everytime:

Error opening image.

This might be caused by an invalid image type or because you haven't
set public read and write access on the temporary directory.
Check config.php for more information on the temporary directory.

Thanks for your help!

Erwin is da man! This is an awesome hack! Thanks much for sharing!

*****clicks install*****

I am also having the image error listed above by UManiac, but it is small in comparison to being able to edit files from the admin CP!

I'll check this. It may be security from the new vB version? Or the fact that you're runnning Windoze? (I run Linux)

I'm running Linux as well... BigCheeze is the windoze man

I also ran into a second problem. I tried to change the permissions on a file and got this:

Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in /adminPanel/ftp.php on line 281

[BigCheeze]

Sorry... just found my way back here... been too #@%ing busy at work.

While Windows doesn't have "CHMOD" per say, the tmp directory is wide open, and VBFTP shows it as "777" (becasue I've given the group everyone full access.... same as 777).

I found one issue, and it now seems to try to display the image, I get the box around where it should be, but I don't get the actual image.

Nice hack

installed on vB 3.0.6

*installed*

I installed this ages ago, but have a problem in it.

Whenever I download a file from it, it inserts some of the vbftp HTML into the bottom/top of the file. Also, do I have to CHMOD every file I want to edit?

to fix this find the header and footer html (code) and wrap it with

if ($_REQUEST['action'] != "download")
{

}

On my free time, I'm modifying vb3 FTP and I was wondering if anyone has made some modifcations?

Erwin,
I notice that Morten Bojsen-Hansen has a current update of his script...
I was wondering how extensive is it to port the new version over to vb??


thanks for a great addon!!
