Installation instructions

Requirements

Web server: any web server which can run PHP. The most popular one is Apache.
PHP: at least version 4.2.3. net2ftp works under safemode.
Disk space: 450kB for net2ftp, and a few MB for the temporary files.

Procedure

1 - Unzip all the files on your computer, and upload them to your server.

2 - The /temp directory should be chmodded to 777 (you can use www.net2ftp.com to do this).

3 - Set your settings in the settings.inc.php file.

4 - A database is only required if you want to log the actions of the users. To create the tables, execute the SQL queries below (also in the "create_tables.sql" file). This can be done easily in PhpMyAdmin, the popular front-end to MySQL.

Next steps

Protect the /temp and the /admin directories. If you use the Apache web server, use .htaccess and .htpasswd files to do this -- sample files are provided (username admin, password net2ftp).
.htaccess file: set the path to the .htpasswd file
.htpasswd file: enter a list of usernames and encrypted passwords (the admin panel can be used to generate encrypted passwords)
In your php.ini file, register_globals can be set to "off" (this is more secure), but the application will off course also work if it is set to "on".
The files are transmitted using mode FTP_BINARY by default. There is a list of file extensions (txt, php, ...) which are transmitted by FTP_ASCII.

NOTE: IF YOU USE THE IIS FTP SERVER

In the FTP server's configuration, set it for UNIX style directory listings rather than MSDOS style listings -- otherwise it will not work with net2ftp.
