Need to create a FTP custom login

serenade2

Hi everyone. I would like to know if its possible to make a FTP Login.🙂

I dont want to use the default ftp login like the image that I added in the attachement message. (Please correct me if I'm making mistake in English) Im doing my best.🙂

I would like to know if its possible for an user to put its username and password and then login as FTP. Instead of using the default FTP login that the web browser did.

In bref.

I want to make an user login to an FTP site by using my custom web form.

Please answer me.

Can I be able to receive email each time that A member reply to me?
I would like to know please.

Everyone have a good day.

Your English is fine. I understood you perfectly 🙂

As for receiving notification of replies, you can set this in your profile:
User CP --> Edit Options (left hand navigation). Then look for Default Thread Subscription Mode and choose your option from the drop-down list. Most people choose Instant email notification. Otherwise you can receive a daily or weekly digest listing updates to any of your subscribed threads.

You could write your own FTP program in PHP since PHP has ftp functions ([man]ftp[/man]). Alternatively you could ask them for their credentials and then use [man]cURL[/man] to post what they put in to the FTP area. Problem is, if it's a failed login, you'd still potentially see the pop-up box (depending upon browser and amount of retries allowed). So you'd probably want to use a bit of both.

Grab the info from the user, then use the ftp extension (or if you really wanted to fsockopen() and fread() and fwrite()) to attempt a log in based on what the user supplied. If it works, then post it to the FTP site for them using cURL; otherwise, show them your own custom error message.

Im a begginer and I know how to login to a FTP site with a FTP client. But I want to make a custom login
for custumer who dont know how to use ftp.

Ok I tell you what Im should do

I should do an Web page that give some information about the compagny . And there should be a
hyperlink that send directly to a login page. In the login page you se a brief description that say to newbie
customer where to put their username and their password into my web form. I want to know if I can manke
a FTP Login or a web form that directly put the username and password. in the ftp site and make you access to your files.

I gave an example:

         <html>
                    <head>
                            <title>Login</title>
                    </head>
                   <body>
                               <form name="loginCustom" method="post" action="ftp://ftp.ftpSiteExemple.com" id="loginCustom">
                                    <input type="text" name="ftpUserName" size="50" MAXLENGTH="50" />
                                    <input type="password" name="ftppassword" size="50" MAXLENGTH="50" />
                                    <input type="submit" id="submitButton" value="Login" />
                                </form>
                    </body>
         </html>

What you have is essentially that. It in theory should work; however, I do know that most FTP servers will allow you to log in with this type of url:

ftp://[color=red]username[/color]:[color=red]password[/color]@[color=red]domain.tld[/color]

So for example:

[url]ftp://root:password@myhost.com[/url]

You would then log in with the credentials of "root".

One way to achieve this is to use the [man]header/man function and send them there on your own:

<?php

if(isset($_POST) && !empty($_POST))
{
    $url = 'ftp://%s:%s@' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

$user = $_POST['ftpUserName'];
$pass = $_POST['ftppassword'];

$url = sprintf($url, $user, $pass);  // Replace the %s's with proper values

header('Location: ' . $url);
}
else
{
    // Show the form:
    echo <<<HTMLFORM
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Login</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form name="loginCustom" method="post" action="ftp://ftp.ftpSiteExemple.com" id="loginCustom">
      <input type="text" name="ftpUserName" size="50" MAXLENGTH="50" />
      <input type="password" name="ftppassword" size="50" MAXLENGTH="50" />
      <input type="submit" id="submitButton" value="Login" />
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
HTMLFORM;
}

Now that's just an example, but something like that should work.

Thanks for your help. The connection works but if I made a mistake it will show the default ftp login.

Can you tell me if their could be a way to stop the default login? please.

Have a nice day everyone.

There's no way to stop a default login from showing when an error occurs short of actually coding your own FTP program in PHP. You either have to roll your own (or find an open-source script that does what you want) or deal with them seeing the default page if they make a mistake.
