Domcsore Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Hi there, so I have created a web based FTP system which I will create a tutorial for if people want it. However, I am just wondering if a web based FTP is able to go above the htdocs. In other words is it able to go into the root folder of the users ftp.

JAY6390 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 ftp in php can access all that a normal ftp client can. It can't bypass security for folders outside of that remit however. If you can access outside of the htdocs with your normal ftp client then yes is the answer, otherwise it's no Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/198172-issue-with-ftp-and-php/#findComment-1039805 Share on other sites More sharing options...

the182guy Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 It's not dependant on the FTP client. It could be PHP, CuteFTP, SmartFTP, FileZilla etc etc, it doesn't matter. What matters is the permissions of the user that is logged in. If the user has permission to go all the way up to root, then any client will 'allow' it.
