Other than broken images, this module is 10Xs better than that other one I mentioned.. It's already saved me some time, the BEST feature is the ability to xfer a file from one site to another. :)
Though, the interface could be a little easier. It's hard to remember that to send it to another site I need to use COPY.. or was it DOWNLOAD.. I forgot already. Anyway, you should just have a FTP XFER button or something. ;) LOVE IT keep it coming!

Thanks Chad. I've posted a question with the developer of the script re. the missing images. I asked him about removing some drop-down boxes that were on the original script that weren't needed (skin selection, not needed as the module uses whatever is the selected theme CSS)which he answered and I implemented. I think i've either (a)Commented out one line to many or too few or (b) added an extra "/" where I shouldn't. I'll keep hunting it down anyhow. Unfortunately I don't have my PHP editor at work, so I rely on notepad which is OK but doesn't have line numbering or code coloring etc :(

Completely off topic: What editor do you use?

Just an update on this: The developer's forums have been down ever since I posted the question re. images. I have emailed him, but have no rely yet. I'm keen to get this sorted out so I can release it as a module :)

Bassman, get Crimson Editor, it's free, supports php, css, html, you name it with numbered lines, color coding and everything you need. Great tool when your on the run!

The list of languages is endless, all color coded and ready to go out of the box. I replaced notepad with this. RTF support is questionable, but hell, it's the best little tool I've ever owned!

I've always used Textpad http://www.textpad.com

but I'd like one that allows me to upload the changes via FTP when I save it or something.. Visual Studio has me spoiled. ;) Wish I could get it to format my PHP for me like it does my ASP.

Hi there!

Thanks for this module, I like it and already have tested it. It works just fine, but I found you CANNOT upload large file - anything bigger than 25mb could hang, and anything bigger than 30mb will die, gives you a blank screen that you don't know where you are.

I dig into the size/time-out issue, I did modify the settings.inc file(s), system php.ini for the max_size, memory, timeout value......, and also enlarge the IIS time-out settings from the server, including IIS - FTP time-out. No good lucky about large file uploading.

I checked the FTP session - there is NO ftp session when you logged into your FTP server throuhg Net2FTP, this means, it's using http method instead of FTP protocol, even the module is using FTP commands in lines, it just did not login to the server via FTP.

So, I do a research on the net, found out a lot people using PHP to upload large file (>20mb) got the same problems, ends up it is a "browser nature" that can't handle huge file through http and php/server combination.

See "Possible Limitations" on a commercial php Web FTP -
http://www.mywebftp.com/mwftp_hoster.php
and the so called "testimonial" on the following page -
http://www.somethingjava.com/index.cfm?content=products


This is to give everybody heads up if you are planning to use this module, basically it can do FTP without a FTP client so it's a "portable FTP" for smaller files (suggested : less than 25MB per), and surely it works great! However, if you have large file to upload/download, this then isn't your choice. I got BOTH time-out messages from the server (Win2000, EventLogs) for huge file uploading AND downloading. (I used other FTP client to upload a huge file, 40mb, for downloading test) If you need to upload/download a large file, you'd better use Java Applets (see http://www.jscape.com/ftpapplet/docs.html - have a free edition) which is doing a REAL FTP session so has no "the http limits" at all.

That's my 2 cents.
