Web server requirements

Community PHP: at least version 4.2.3. net2ftp works under Safe Mode. One advanced feature requires PHP 5 (send raw FTP
command).
Forums Disk space: 7.5 MB for net2ftp (less if you remove the plugins), and a few MB for the temporary files.

Download and Install

Installation procedure
Download Stable 0.98 1 - Unzip all the files on your computer, and upload them to your server.
Installation instructions
2 - The /temp directory should be chmodded to 777 (you can use net2ftp.com to do this).

3 - Set your settings in the settings.inc.php file; read "Next steps" below for more details.
Help
4 - A database is only required if you want to log the actions of the users. To create the tables, execute the SQL queries
Help guide
below (also in the "create_tables.sql" file). This can be done easily in PhpMyAdmin, the popular front-end to MySQL.

Next steps
Important settings in settings.inc.php:
Enter an Admin panel password. If no password is entered, the Admin panel is not accessible.
Turn logging on or off (requires a MySQL database).
Choose if you want to set a daily consumption limit to restrict each user's daily data transfer volume and script
execution time (requires a MySQL database). By default the data transfer volume is set to 50 MB per day and the script
execution time to 1500 seconds per day - but this may be changed. Both figures are logged per IP address, and per
FTP server. Once the daily consumption limit is reached, the user will still be able to browse FTP servers, but the
transfer of data to/from the server will be blocked.
Set authorizations in settings_authorizations.inc.php:
Allow the users to connect to any FTP server, or only to a restricted list of FTP servers
Ban certain FTP servers
Ban certain IP addresses; users connecting from these addresses will not be able to use the website
Allow the users to connect to any FTP server port, or only to one port
Set the user home directories in the table net2ftp_users (using phpMyAdmin). This will direct a user to his home
directory when he logs in, and also restrict the browsing to this directory. The other actions (rename, copy, ...) are not
protected!! If you need tighter security, set the user permissions directly on the FTP server.
A list of banned keywords can be entered. Directories and files containing these keywords can't be processed. Files
can't be renamed if the new filename contains a banned keyword. This is to avoid net2ftp being used to upload Paypal
and Ebay scams.
To allow large file uploads and transfers, you may have to change these settings:
in the file php.ini (directory C:\windows or /etc): upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, max_execution_time,
memory_limit
in the file php.conf (directory /etc/httpd/conf.d): LimitRequestBody
Protect the /temp directory. If you use the Apache web server, the .htaccess file which is provided already does this.
In your php.ini file, register_globals can be set to "off" (this is more secure), but the application will off course also work
if it is set to "on".
The files are transmitted using the BINARY mode by default. There is a list of file extensions (txt, php, ...) which are
transmitted in ASCII mode. Edit this list if needed, it is located in /includes/filesystem.inc.php. Look for function
ftpAsciiBinary.
