Topic: ftp online for users ?

[john56]

Hello,
I'm looking for an online ftp client for users to access their home directories and other shares (sharefolders) in read / write mode.
There are already phpwebftp contribs but I find it aging ... and only manages the / home
There is also the old net2ftp contrib but it does not very modern.
There is pydio but does not handle write mode for access / home.

So I'm looking for a contribution that handles at least the read / write mode for access / home and ideally the other shared folders (Acl mode ...)

Thank you for your answers.

Maybe you want to consider webdav instead of FTP.

[john56]

no read/write mode with webdav and my tests (only read mode).  Neither acl nor.

Owncloud/Nextcloud?

Take a look at the Pydio contrib, it's close to your need. Except that access to home dir is optional, not enabled by default, and limited to read only (for security reasons)

[john56]

I know pydio, no home read, and no acl ...

[Stefano]

Please, re read Dani's suggestion.. Pydio supports access to homes...

[john56]

So sorry for my mistake,  i would write that pydio doesn't allow to write in their personal homes.

Works with ACL ?  I've ever tried Pydio (very good) but it didnt work with ACL so Students accessed prohibited resources.
Pydio is not available for the moment (problem to install with Red Had Repos)

It would be so great to have the same access online than with Samba for every resources.

Why would you need RH repo's?

As per Daniels suggestion, please see https://wiki.contribs.org/Pydio

The DAG repo does not exist any longer.

configure the fws and epel repo's, then:

yum install smeserver-pydio --enablerepo=epel,fws,smecontribs

What is the exact yum command you gave?

[john56]

and yum install smeserver-pydio --enablerepo=epel,fws,smecontribs

Looks like you have a problem with your repo definition. openssl-perl for example is available from the base or the updates repo, just like ghostscript-fonts. Please show the output of

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories show

Looks like you have tweaked a lot your repositories, and you have at least 3 problems:

• The smecontribs repo is enabled, and should be disabled
• The base repo is disabled and should be enabled
• The updates repo is disabled and should be enabled

You still have some mess in your repositories (with a mix of repo for EL4, EL5 and EL6). I'd recommend to reset all your repo with

Code: [Select]

rm /home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases
expand-template /etc/yum.smerepos.d/sme-base.repo

Then reconfigure the repo you need/want

[john56]

the defaults repo are Centos -os, Centos - update, Sme Server (Addons, extras, os, updates). Is that right ?
I've some updates to begin now.

before porting webftp to sme9 I did a pretty extensive research of online ftp client and all project are dead or almost. some use one more layer of software we would like to avoid ( java, flash) either for security reason and availability either for obsolescence of the technology.


If this is only the interface you find oldish you could spend time on css.
One more step could be to add some client side scripting for ajax or similar interaction but this would add some security potential issues.

still pydio could do, but with your specifi context and ACL you will indeed miss some wanted features.
