PHP FOR FTP LOGIN

firmemente · 10-05-2006, 11:20 AM

I want to let people login to their own specific folder(directory) from my website for uploading and downloading files. Each person has their own username and password.... I just want them to put username and password... and go straight to their directory. Is there a php code for that?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yep, if you look at this here:

You can start at this function: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/feature...i.open-basedir

This function allows PHP to open a certain directory. From there you can learn how to open up files, edit them, upload, and then also login.

I'm confused, what are you trying to show us?

the script i have above is for login.html i created. with that.... i named the directory folder FIRME... the username is firmemente and the password is mentefirme. this is set up already. i would like to know how to write the php code to where the user types in firmemente and type the pass as mentefirme and takes the user to that folder where he can add content.

i hope i am not confusing you.

would the user have to type in firmemente@domainame.com and password as mentefirme

or

can they type firmemente and password as mentefirme

What you would have to do is when they enter their username and password is put that into the function that logs the user into their directory (if necessary), and from there you just need to setup pages where they can see their files and edit them if they want to.

this is the page i am working on.... www.universalmailing.com/login.html

at times people have to type in ftp://firmemente.universalmailing.co...salmailing.com

password as mentefirme to get inside their folder

i don't want that, its too long....

that is the purpose of my login.html where it eliminates all that and they type in the id and pass
