FileZilla Forums

I want to be able to programatically, using API or command, setup users for FileZilla server. Is it a doable?

If so, where can I find API (I am using C# .Net) or command line syntax?

I would appreciate any help.

Edit FileZilla Server.xml directly and call "FileZilla Server.exe" /reload-config afterwards.

btog,

Thank you for your help. Your xml solution is way easier than I expected. It is great!!!

btog,

One more Question on "FileZilla Server.xml": How can I set user's password? The password is encrypted in xml (It certainly make 100% security sense doing so.) Is there any mechanism let me supply password?

Thanks,

Jay

Simple MD5 hash.

btog,

Thans a lot for your help. You are THE MAN!

So is there any API for the servre interface... I have plans to inplement an admin tool for my smartphone.

edit: is there any API wiki

AFAIK the protocol used for communication between the server service and the admin interface is custom and undocumented. You could figure it out from the source code, though.

As it's free open source, it cannot possibly be proprietary. I agree that it is undocumented though

it cannot possibly be proprietary

Maybe the word ''custom'' describes it better...

Hey Guys, is not possible to use other hash than MD5 to set user's password?

By changing the source, you could implement any hash. But as-is, no.

So what is the reason for not documenting the API? Do FileZilla dev do not want "community addons" or is there any other reason?

My goals are to eventually rewrite the server. That's why I have never added any documentation to the current administration interface protocol.

Has there been any changes to this concept?
Have you rewritten the server?

I have looked through the source of the monitor and sort of ported sections to csharp/.net so that I could monitor file uploads and capture the completion event. I am having a couple of issues so far, but I believe that I can track the passive port and ip to link the 126 transfer complete to the stor command which would give me the filename, client, and completion time. At that point I can perform an operation on the file.

I have run into the following issues:

Due to incompletely handling the entire code ( groupinit, userinit ) I believe I am sort of running into an endless loop
When I reconnect after a "disconnect", I seem to be missing my commands and responses.

I am assuming that my threaded architecture needs some work, and I am using TcpClient and networkstream which I believe to be a potential major issue moving forward.

Anyways,
Just thought I would see if you had some feedback for me.
