FTP Servers

[Flux]

I'm trying to get my site to offer FTP file upload functionality. Easy enough right? Just get something like FileZilla.
I have FileZilla, but there's a slight problem.
I need it to access MySQL so I don't have to put in the users, their passwords, and their directories manually.

Anybody know any (free?..) FTP servers out there that access MySQL?

Or perhaps a script (and if necessary a free server that works with it) that on execution synchronizes the FTP server's account info with a MySQL database?..

Is that possible to just make with some website script, like PHP?

Ive been looking for something like this also. If you find anything let me know.

Filezilla is manual input but the source code is available, so you could always modify it.

I'm not very good at source code modification...at least not without a day or two (consecutive's equivalent) to learn whatever language it is...

But sure, I'll tell you about it when I find it.

Flux,

Some FTP servers support the ability to add/manage users remotely by issuing FTP commands. (Guildftpd seems to have that capability).

Using such a feature, you could write a script that reads the MySQL database, connects to the FTP server, and send commands to it to create users as described in the DB.

FileZilla is using XML to store its settings and accounts.

Should not be too hard to write a PHP-script which would add and/or remove users.

I also found this code, which can be used to encrypt and decrypt passwords in FileZilla.

After fiddling around a little (and having problems with clashing FTP servers whose processes are hidden from immediate view >:| ) I've decided that cmxflash's idea is a good one.

I do hope, however, that anyone who knows free FTP servers with MySQL capabilities will come forward and link those who are waiting for such a nifty program to come along (myself and AbyssUnderground included)
