Everything ftp read-write function

Post by zsh2708 »

Everything ftp read-write function,
Can you only choose whether to download it, and can you add an optional write - to - write function?

The Everything ETP/FTP server is read-only.

Downloading is enabled by default, to disable FTP downloading:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the ETP/FTP Server tab on the left.
  • Uncheck Allow file download.
  • Click OK.
I have on my TODO list an ETP/FTP upload option. However it is low priority.

Editing and uploading functions are important, and these will be a complete FTP server.

Everything is not an FTP server it only provides its indexes by ftp protocol.
I don't see any need for an FTP write which also may give a lot of security issues.
There are enough free FTP servers available.

Agreed.
And that's beside the fact that this would probably cause a security nightmare:
ETP server has most likely full control locally on the server and that would give any user the possibility to overwrite important system/sensitive/.. files.

EDIT: @horst.epp: I completely overlooked your which also may give a lot of security issues.
That makes my message completely redundant...
Now I agree even more :)
