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

Click on this link to read instructions on how to use these in-built features now:

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!

This is an excellent hack. Although I will not install it on my forums for now because I do not need it (I will be upgrade to vb3 soon anyways), I'll look for a similar version for vb3.

Great hack, like i Said.

What version PHP, Apache and vBulletin are you using?

Erwin · #85 10-17-2002, 02:36 AM

There's no point giving me a link to the URL - I cannot access your Admin CP so I cannot access vB FTP.

Why do I get this line of code added to the end of the PHP file when I download a php file using this hack?

<a href='/forum/admin/ftp.php?path=./'>.:Back:.</a> Download completed successfully! <head><title>.: vB FTP Version 2.1 - by Dr. Erwin Loh :.</title><link rel='stylesheet' href='../cp.css' type='text/css'></head> <div class='line_bottom'> </div><center>vB FTP Version 2.1 brought to you by Dr. Erwin Loh</center>

I need to get that to stop because it is inserting itself after the ?> and it's throwing my code off.

@ Groovesalad:

When I download files, that is NOT inserted after the ?> - it's an error caused by your server, not by this hack.

What version PHP have you got installed on your server? This hack needs PHP 4.1.2 or higher. I suspect it's something not set up properly on your server. Also, in your server's PHP.INI file, make sure download via HTTP is "on". The download feature should work fine. At least for me and the other vB FTP users.

I'll check on the version of PHP, not sure what version. I guess I should contact my hosting company and ask them about the PHP.INI file, because I don't think I have anything to do with that.

One quick question. I upgraded from 2.2.6 > 2.2.8. When I installed this hack now, it keeps giving me a login when I click on vbFTP in the Admin CP. I can't seem to get past that. I don't have a pass set. I tried setting one and then logging in, still no go. So I took the username and pass away from FTP.PHP and still I can't get in. Any ideas?

Also, is your server Linux or Win NT based? Depending on which one it is, follow the instructions to change the setting in the vbftp.php file.

As for you login problem - have you got cookies switched on in your browser? The vBFTP program uses the same login as your Admin CP. Setting username and password in the vbftp.php adds a SECOND layer of username and password (MD5 encrypted). Both of these uses cookies, so make sure that is switched on.

For 99% of server this hack is going to work out of the box. For the remaining 1%, it's a matter of tweaking the server to make it work.

groovesalad · #91 10-21-2002, 12:50 PM

It's Win NT based and I changed the number to 1. Is there a way to get rid of that login? I have everything set correctly and it won't let me past it. I don't even need it to be there.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
