    Default In-browser FTP program/script

    Does anyone know of a good script I can use so my sub-domains can have an FTP client to use from my site? Everything I find it either another site or a program to download. They could just use another site but it would be really nice if they could go to mine in order to login.

    PHP based file managemet system?

    Certainly possible, but a big undertaking. Not aware of any existing scripts, myself. Try searching for CMS and hope to get lucky.

    What are they done with most of the time? I don't have much experience with programming other than bits of PHP so I wasn't sure.

    CMS is generally in PHP, or perhaps ASP, and other languages-- perl, cgi, whatever.

    PHP could certainly handle all the functions. It would just be complex.

    Write an upload script; then write a delete script; then write a reorganization script; then write a login feature; then integrate it all and add a fancy GUI.

    Each step is quite possible. Just lots of it to write.

    Ah, but I meant what are FTP scripts normally done with. Because I certainly can't write, I don't have that much experience yet so I was wanting to go with a pre-written one.

    Have you tried Net2FTP?

    Actually, that is what i just found. I was wanting something they could access from my site because these are students and if there was a problem I could handle it easier. But I may just go with this.

    Try this link, it is possible to install Net2FTP on your own server. However, I have had a lot of trouble with Net2FTP in the past. It contains many examples of bad PHP coding, not strictly wrong, but this isn't a program to learn from. To see what I mean, turn error_reporting to E_ALL.
