[Web-ftp] problems on NetBSD 1.6.2

[Pascal C. <pc...@ei...>]

Hello,

I've some NetBSD servers and I'd like to proxify ingoing FTP
connections for my users. In order to do that, web-ftp.cgi
looks good ;-)

At this time, I'm testing with my anonymous ftp (on the same machine).

I've installed web-ftp in my cgi-bin directory, review all shebang in
Perl files, etc. All right, now, when I test, I get the connection page,
I supply the form and... nothing. The CGI open a connection on my ftp
server, the server answers well (tcpdump is my friend) but nothing
appear. I think it is a Unix socket problem...

Here's some infos (with long lines, sorry):

[Web-ftp] "Cannot fork" and "remote user timeout" problem. (????)

[<tr...@sm...>]

Hello.

I've got a little problem. I've installed web-ftp 2.2.1 on
FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE with Apache 1.3.27. Actually it is a
hosting.

So the problem is: When I login specifying a localhost's
name as an ftp-server web-ftp logins and shows the list of
my files perfctly and all other operations are working too.
But when I try to specify any different outer hostname, for
instance ftp.freebsd.org with an anonymous login Web-FTP
hangs during login and after some time shos a menu and an
empty files list. And it takes a long time for this! Or
sometimes instead of showing an empty list of files it says
500 Internal Error and in my logs I see this thing: 

"Resource temporarily unavailable: couldn't spawn child
process: /blah-blah/web-ftp/web-ftpc.cgi"

Or this:

"Remote user timed out at /blah-blah/web-ftp/web-ftp.cgi
line 603".

And when I try to connect to an ftp-server with just a
standard ftp-client which I have on FreeBSD, everythings
goes very good. No timeouts, no hangs and login is very
quick.

Any ideas? I'm really stuck..
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Web-ftp] Web-FTP folder permission.

[Anthony R. J. B. <an...@su...>]

Hrm... I do not recognize that error.

The tmp dir only needs to be writable by the cgi, if your cgi
runs as your user, then 700 would even work.

  No public templates... really, there isn't much to the templating
system... I still need to make a better one, but I am not sure how
to best go about it, it is complex when you need to allow all the
frames to work together.

All wiyht. Rho sritched mg kegtops awound? 

[Web-ftp] Web-FTP folder permission.

[<tec...@ya...>]

Hi,
I am trying to run this new version of Web-FTP.

I have uploaded all the files to a folder called 'ftp'
and created a 'tmp' directory under that. I have also
uploaded the required language files.

When I try to run the web-ftp.cgi file, I get 500
internal server error. The Apache error log shows the
following:

error: directory is writable by others:
(/home/mydomain/public_html/ftp)

What permission does the 'ftp' folder supposed to
have? I set it to 755, the 'tmp' 777 and web-ftp.cgi
755.

For my config. file I have the following setting:

SocketDir=/home/mydomain/public_html/ftp/tmp

Also I would like to know what is this?

MimeFile=/etc/mime.types

Moreover, I would like to know if there are any free
good templates available for Web-FTP and where can I
download them.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Web-ftp] If a file fails to transfer completely will Web-ftp supply an err or?

[Anthony R. J. B. <an...@su...>]

  I don't think so. Basically there will be an error in the messages
  window, but they would actually have to look... probably should be
  addressed.

[Web-ftp] If a file fails to transfer completely will Web-ftp supply an err or?

[Russell R. <RR...@nc...>]

I have been using Web-ftp successfully for 4 months - version 2.1.2.  My
problem is that a handful of ascii files have not transferred successfully
and the users were unaware of the failure. My question is if a file fails to
transfer will Web-ftp notify the user that the transfer has failed?

Thanks,

Russ

[Web-ftp] connection problem please help

[Samuel M. <sa...@mu...>]

Hello all--

First of all, thanks to Anthony for writing this software, this is 
exactly what I need !

Most unfortunately I've been having some trouble getting it to work.

Here is my problem :

when I click on login, the page just sits there and after a while times 
out on http://www.samuelmurez.com/cgi-bin/webftp/web-ftp.cgi/02650/START?

and then returns me to the login screen

I have tried to include helpful information below. Please ask me for 
anything I haven't provided, and please bear in mind that I may have 
forgotten something very very simple.

I would really appreciate any help on this.

All best,

--Sam

Re: [Web-ftp] Can't log in

[Anthony R. J. B. <an...@su...>]

  Web-FTP tries to log into the FTP server. Is it set up to go to the
  right ftp server? Can you log into the ftp server as root, or does
  the ftp server block root? 

  No, you can't use a blank username and password.

[Web-ftp] Problem with french language

[Jean-Pierre A. <jpa...@ja...>]

Hello,

If I use the french language, the scripts "Upload" and "Delete" don't 
work ("Envoyer" and "Effacer" in french).

Is it a way to change this ?

You can still pass filenames to zip:  "zip - file1.txt file2.txt
file3.txt", for example.  It'll write to stdout a zipfile with 3 files,
all named correctly.

  That won't work... its for multiple files, so I somehow need to
be able to supply the filenames, and, for that matter, multiple
files. Tarring doesn't help because then you are still passing a
tar file to windows users... it is just compressed.

It's in the manpage :)  A single - is treated as either stdin or
stdout, depending on where it is in the commandline.

"zip - myfile.txt" will send its zipfile to stdout.
"zip - -" basically acts like gzip, but emits a zipfile.
"zip - outfile.zip" will compress stdin and create outfile.zip

Note that lines 2 and 3 do not know the input filename and will use "-"
instead.

  Tar works ok in a PC... winzip unzips it, I know...
  No idea about Mac... 
  I tried to do zip but could not figure out how to stream it, 
which is necessary in this application.

[Web-ftp] Re: New Web-FTP features?

[Jean-Pierre A. <jpa...@ja...>]

Hello Anthony and all WebFTP users,

I work in a graphics arts company, I've implemented a ftp server as an 
exchange system with our customers.
I've tested a lot of systems, my choice was PureFTP + WebFTP.

  WebFTP is a powerful application and simply to deploy.

Here is a list of some features that i'd like to be implemented in next 
releases :

- In graphics arts, we use macintosh and pc, so when we download many 
files a tar compression don't match, only a zip compression work for 
us.

- My customers ask for me if there is possible to view the icon of the 
file in WebFTP, and if they click on the icon the file is displayed in 
an other window (for graphics files : tiff, jpeg, psd, ...)

- For us, this exchange system is a part of a customer portal we want 
to deploy, so it will be a good feature if we can bypass the login 
screen to access directly to the ftp space.
In this case WebFTP will be a component of our customers portal.

Sorry for my poor English, I hope that this message is clear for all.

edit now writes text files properly (I think)

And basic support for uploading from a URL is available (experimental)

release

"Criminal Lawyer", a redundancy

[Web-ftp] Can't log in

[Couey, R. <co...@TO...>]

Folks,

I'm a new Web-FTP user with a fresh install of 2.2.1 on Solaris 9.  I can't
log in.  Apache allows access from any IP address in my domain but Web-FTP
refuses to let me log in, either as root or under my UserID.

Is Web-FTP not authenticating through Apache?  If so, then it should it not
accept a blank UserID & PW?  If not, why won't it accept a root login?

Thanks,
Couey

Re: [Web-ftp] CGI

[Anthony R. J. B. <an...@su...>]

  Not really... it could be edited to allow passing the username
and password in the url, rather than the form input. Would have
to look at the QUERY_STRING

Re: [Web-ftp] New Web-FTP features?

[Anthony R. J. B. <an...@su...>]

  I have toyed with a full rewrite, including CSS and REAL
  templating...

  I have been at a loss on how to actually work out the=20
templating to support a framed look, or a non-framed look,
or pop-up windows, or whatever...

  I will have to look at it again. I think I can basically make
it so that whenever you call a template item it calls the=20
appropriate data... the problem is getting things to post to the=20
right place. With the forms it is an unholy mess of posting to
the appropriate frame to make sure things go right... or, even worse,
the javascript writing from one frame to another.

  Maybe I could make something that let you specify the target.

  I will have to play with it.

  I actually just added something one person asked for, uploading from
a url. I will probably make a new release pretty soon.

[Web-ftp] Web-ftp editor problem

[Jeff S. <je...@th...>]

Hello Anthony,

First the good news. Some time back, I had problems getting Web-FTP to
authenticate on my Red Hat Linux 9.0
I purchased Red Hat ES 3.0, and here it works again! Maybe Apache 2.0.46 was
the problem. Don't know, don't care...


Now the problem:
1) Using Web-FTP 2.2.1
2) When I use the editor "extra" CR characters are appended to each line. I
am doing the edit from a Windoze box, 
that might matter. Here is the hex dumps of the test files.

Original file:
310D 0A32 0D0A 330D 0A34 0D0A 350D 0A36 0D0A 370D 0A38 0D0A 390D 0A

Saved file (I did not change anything manually):
310D 0D0A 320D 0D0A 330D 0D0A 340D 0D0A 350D 0D0A 360D 0D0A 370D 0D0A 380D
0D0A 390D 0D0A

Note the extra 0D (carriage return)? I've seen this in another application
that has an editor. 
The author tried some things, but was never able to fix it. 
This is really only a problem when editing files that are read by the
system. IE crontab
Cron pukes and dies.. very messy :-)
I'm willing to test any situation in an effort to help.

Thanks,

Jeff Spellman

Re: [Web-ftp] Another problem with template files

[Anthony R. J. B. <an...@su...>]

they will have to have full paths, like /images/foo.jpg if you are running in a cgi-bin
directory. Find out what path it is trying to use for the image, and see if it looks
right (in mozilla, right click on broken image and do view image to see the url in
the location bar)

Thanks for help

Re: [Web-ftp] template files

[Anthony R. J. B. <an...@su...>]

  If you didn't update to the webftp subdirectory structure
it would have... basically the templates directory now needs
to be in the same directory that web-ftp.conf is in. Before
it used to have to be in the same dir as web-ftp.cgi

  Basically when it starts web-ftp tries to open the config
file in the current dir... if that fails, it tries to open
webftp/web-ftp.conf

  Whichever it gets, that becomes the base directory for all
the secondary files.
