[Feature Request] Filezilla Server - SQL

[Onni]

I'm Using Filezilla now already quite some time
although I like it very much.. I still am missing one feature....

Now Filezilla saves its data in a single file. Isn't there a way to save the configuration to a SQL database? That would be really awsome to me, then I can make users while im at work (only http port is open). And give them acces to differend folders at my server. Although Filezilla only reloads it loading file while it gets changed trought the admin interface, there maybe needs a refresh timer built in tho fix this.

Is this feature posible ?

Thanks in advance,
Onni

The following command reloads the settings without disrupting any connected users:

Code: Select all

"FileZilla Server.exe" /reload-config

I ment a SQL version,
Not a reload command

What botg is suggesting here is that you can make a script that edits FileZilla Server.xml (e.g. adding new users to the config) and then run the reload-config command afterwards. It's an alternative way to do what you want.

Any possible solution on this subject yet?

As giving a option to store the configuration in SQL

just want to throw out my support for a feature like this as well. if the user list could directly query any sql database it would be super cool.

i'm doing what was suggested though with re-generating the user list on the fly and it works just fine. be nice if it didn't have to though

thanks for an awesome app!

I would like to see a "Show Password" feature, similar to KeePass. A lot of times, we generate a random password for the customer, give it to them, and they promptly lose it. We can generate a new one for them, but having the option of revealing the current password would be handy.

Also, scrollbars for the FTP usernames field so that we can scroll to the left and right for those really long FTP usernames. Nothing quite as frustrating as telling someone that their FTP username is "User01_web_F...something something something...."

Downright impossible, FileZilla Server doesn't save passwords, only the MD5 hash of the entered passwords. And a hash is not reversible, as calculating a hash is a lossy operation.

Hi,
You can use the description field of FileZilla Server user properties to show pass unencryped or useres phone number, as long as your server interface is protected against unauthorized access. This is probably not what the programmers intended, but will work in most cases. Otherwise yopu will have to make up a user table of your own, i.e. using any database program you have (dont use excel for that purpose
