PHP-based Remote Filesystem Management Tool
Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2007 7:47 pm
Hello,
At my place of work we have a router, we do not know the password and there are certain things that are not configured. I can not FTP to the Web Server and Remote Desktop/Terminal Services does not work either. I need a way to manage the websites while I am away from the office so I have started the development of a php-based file-system RAT. I do not have many questions about the project but the ones that I do have are of concern to me.
How many people would be potentially interested?
First, how many people may be interested in this sort of tool? I am figuring that since most people have their servers in good working condition that it would seem trivial to them. I also thought that perhaps web hosts may be interested in implementing an application of this type since I have already seen many that do. I would love to develop it for use by other people but if the chance the others may use it will be slim then I will probably do it quickly and include minimal functionality.
If other people were to use this what kind of features do you think they would be interested in?
I know exactly what I need this for but when I ask myself what other peoples needs may be, I come up short on answers. Perhaps some of you could help me with this?
Are there things that are going to need to be different when working with linux OS's rather than Windows?
I do not know if a difference in operating system is going to have a bearing on how this application is developed.
I had more questions but I have already forgotten; I am swamped at work. I'd like to keep this thread open and post as they come to me.
Thanks for reading!
