integrating net2ftp in cmsms?

[playerhater]

Hi,

I found this php based ftp client called net2ftp and i would like to integrate it in cms made simple as a replacement for the file manager. I installed it under admin/ftp and its working fine.

The problem is that the user has to enter the ftp username and password to connect to the ftp. I would like to skip this login process because the user has allready identified himself with the cms admin logging in. There is also another strange thing. When I am not logged in and i type in the adress bar for example admin/themes(or some other folder) there is just a blank page which is ok. But when i type admin/ftp(where the ftp is installed) the ftp login page appears even though im not logged in in cmsms admin.so it wouldnt help me just to skip the ftp authorization (somehow), besides i dont want the users to have access to all files on the server.

Does this have something to do with write permissions? Btw im using xampp on local host.

Hope you can help me with this, this is also a problem when i try to integrate other programs.

Thx
Regards

Be warned - the identifying for CMSms admin access should be not the same like the connection for ftp. It's a question of security.

When I am not logged in and i type in the adress bar for example admin/themes(or some other folder) there is just a blank page which is ok. But when i type admin/ftp(where the ftp is installed) the ftp login page appears even though im not logged in in cmsms admin.

The installing of net2ftp under admin folder means NOT, that it uses the CMSms admin panel. It needs an integration as a backend module.

this is also a problem when i try to integrate other programs.

There's a program named FTP made simple inside Forge - should do the same.

Thx for the help,

i wanted especially net2ftp, because it has some interesting features like file editing and synthax highlighting.  However i will have to try to integrate it as a module, though this was what i was actually trying to avoid.

But im still wondering how this admin folder is protected (htaccess?) and why i can access the ftp login page (admin/ftp) even though im not logged in cmsms. For example, what should i do if i want to install a scond cmsms(or what ever) in the admin folder but dont want the user to have to log in twice to reach admin/admin?

hope you understand what i mean

There exists a module which integrate phpMyAdmin via iframe in admin panel

Maybe it can help for your work

It's not really protected by default. But as you can read in our security suggestions you should really do that
