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!

I'll see how can I integrate with my X-Cart, but look promising.

This hack doesn't go to any lower directory than where the ftp.php is installed.
I have my forums in a forums directory so it stops there and can't go down to my public_html dir

Yes it can. Read this thread carefully - I tell you how to do so.

I wanted to organize the code in a better way. There you can see, what I wanted to do, but something went wrong. Any ideas?

Create directory (line 461)

PHP Code:

 print "<a href='$PHP_SELF?path=".htmlentities(rawurlencode($path))."'>.:Back:.</a><br>";
 print "<form action='$PHP_SELF?action=create_directory' method=post>";
 print "The new directory will be placed in <font color='#FF0000'>".htmlentities($home_dir.$path)."</font><br>";
 print "Please choose a name for the new directory:<br><br>";
 print "<input type=text size=30 name=dirname>&nbsp;";
 print "<input type=submit value='Create directory'>";
 print "<input type=hidden name=path value='".htmlentities(rawurlencode($path))."'></form>"; 


PHP Code:

 Remade like:

   doformheader("ftp","create_directory");

  maketableheader("Create Directory");
  makeinputcode("Name","dirname");
  makehiddencode ("path",".htmlentities(rawurlencode($path)).");

  doformfooter("Submit"); 


What it says:

ERROR: Unable to open the specified path.

PHP Code:

c:\myserver\root\mtrx\.htmlentities(rawurlencode($path)). 


[Erwin]

Why rewrite the code if it's working? It's not going to speed things up.

[gmarik]

Solved it. Why is the code so "dirty"?
So many print instead of one echo'';

A request here/ :beard:

Something really good would be an option when I create a new file, to choose from some premade templates, something like the Tom Bot hack, only your, Erwin, version.

And a script, that automaticly deletes Thumbs.db, than are created by Windows XP and get rather large some times.
