Topic: Allow Wirte Access to I-Bay Account

[Amazing Iceman]

Is there a way to allow an I-Bay Account write access write? By default, SME only allows Read Access to an I-Bay Account.

[Dan Brown]

Yes, you set up the ibay to allow write access in the server manager.  It's all in TFM.

[Amazing Iceman]

Maybe I got misunderstood...
This is what I'm trying to accomplish.

I want to setup an i-bay (let's call the I-Bay: uploads and the password: cats)

I want to allow some people on the internet to connect to the I-Bay via FTP and upload files, but I don't want to create a user account for each individual, I just want to give them to login using:
Username: uploads (the name of the I-Bay)
Password: cats       (the password for the I-Bay)

Currently, they only have read access to the I-Bay; I want them to have write access as well. And I don't want to create a user account because I will need to give all users ftp access and that's not safe to do...

On the contrary, a single I-Bay with read/write access via FTP would be safe for my purposes.

Goto http://www.webfilebrowser.org/ and try this simple php script. It has it's own Login dialog, so set your ibay for group:everyone, Group =RW, Internet:no password , dynamic content:enabled. Go thru the script to your liking and read the documentation. I set my php.ini to 25 MB. I love this script. You can make as many Ibays as you wish by copying the script into a different ibay and change the username and password in the script. BTW, the Username does not need to be the same name as the Ibay. I have been using this script for over a year, it's great for field service, ALL your tools are available at a click of a mouse. I got to go, I see he updated the script and need to read all about.

I doubt the username password is encrypted, I need to check, but either is ftp.

May I add to my above post. NO FTP Client Needed and the username/password you choose do not need to be addes to the sever user accounts.

Thanks for your great suggestion, Bill.
I have installed it, and checked the program code, and it looks great.
I only have a problem uploading files. I keep getting this error:

Upload of file filename.ext aborted

I have checked the php.ini file and it complies with the requirements. I have even tried with very small files (1KB) and th problem is the same.

Do you have any idea why it doesn't work?
Could it be a bug in this latest version?

I'm using SME Server 5.6, by the way.

Thank you..

[Bill Pflaumer]

Can you at least create a folder ? Chk permissions ? I will try to install the lastest script on a SME6B3 tomorrow, but I have no trouble from a server that started as a 5.1.2 and upgraded to SME 6B3. Check back at the website and read the FAQs. Once you get this going, you will be quite happy with it. Report back your findings!

Bill, thanks for this one! Very nice.

I'm having the same problem as iceman, I can create a dir, file and even delete them, but I can not upload. *shrug*

I'm using 6beta3

BTW, does anyone know of a good tutorail for making custom-templates? I have read what I can find, but it doesn't sink in. I would like to make a custom-template for the php.ini.

[Bill Pflaumer]

NOW  I REMEMBER. I installed the lastest Version of webfilebrowser to a SME6B3 box and it failed the same way you guys described. YOU NEED to disable the PHP SANDBOX introducted in V5.1.2. I don't have time to do this today (Party) but if one of you guys can do a search on this site for 'php sandbox' to disable it and report your findings.

Thanks

Bill

Bill, you did it again! That seems to have solved the problem. I can now upload files.

While searching I found this by Han;

These scripts use copy to transfer the files from the /tmp directory to the ibay. If you replace copy by move_uploaded_file it works without disabling the security feature.

Anyone know were to find this in the config files?

Also, it appears that I have succesfully created my first /custom-template/  !

[Bill Pflaumer]

I followed the Disable PHP Sandbox HowTo here http://www.e-smith.org/bboard//read.php?f=3&i=11473&t=11473 . Follow it to the letter (even the period after the 95Add* .)
