CGI::FileManager - Managing a directory structure on an HTTP server
Enable authenticated users to do full file management on a subdirectory somewhere with a web server installed.
After installing the module you have to create a file with usernames and passwords in it. For this we supply cfm-passwd.pl which should have been installed in your PATH. Type:
> cfm-passwd.pl /home/user/mypwfile add someuser
It will ask for password and the home directory that the use is supposed to be able to manage.
Then in nearby CGI script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI::FileManager;
my $fm = CGI::FileManager->new(
PARAMS => {
AUTH => {
PASSWD_FILE => "/home/user/mypwfile",
}
}
);
$fm->run;
Now point your browser to the newly created CGI file and start managing your files.
This is Software is in Alpha version. Its interface, both human and programatic *will* change. If you are using it, please make sure you always read the Changes section in the documentation.
Version 0.05
Enables one to do basic file management operations on a filesystem under an HTTP server. The actions on the file system provide hooks that let you implement custom behavior on each such event.
It can be used as a base class for a simple web application that mainly manipulates files.
Initialize application (standard CGI::Application)
Standart CGI::Appication method to setup the list of all run modes and the default run mode
Regular CGI::Application method
Just to easily redirect to the home page
Change the default behaviour of CGI::Application by overriding this method. By default we'll load the template from within our module.
Print an arbitrary message to the next page
Show login form
Processing the login information, checking authentication, configuring the session object or giving error message.
Called without parameter. Returns an objects that is capable to authenticate a user.
By default it returns a CGI::FileManager::Auth object.
It is planned that this method will be overriden by the user to be able to replace the authentication back-end. Currently the requirements from the returned object is to have these methods:
$a->verify(username, password) returns true/false $a->home(username) return the full path to the home directory of the given user
WARNING: this interface might change in the future, before we reach version 1.00 Check the Changes.
logout and mark the session accordingly.
Changes the current directory and then lists the new current directory
Listing the content of a directory
Delete a file from the server
Remove a directory
unzip
Rename file form
Rename file
Upload a file
Create a directory
To get the default behavior you can write the following code. The module will use the built in templates to create the pages.
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI::FileManager;
my $fm = CGI::FileManager->new(
PARAMS => {
AUTH => {
PASSWD_FILE => "/home/user/mypwfile",
}
}
);
$fm->run;
Theoretically we could manage some meta-data about each file in some database that can be either outside our virtual file system or can be a special file in each directory.
The user running the web server has to have read/write access on the relevant part of the file system in order to carry out all the functions.
A single user needs authentication and full access to one directory tree. This does not work yet.
#!/usr/bin/perl -T
use CGI::FileManager;
my $fm = CGI::FileManager->new({
ROOT => "/home/gabor/web/client1",
AUTH => ["george", "WE#$%^DFRE"], # the latter is the crypt-ed password we expect
});
$fm->run;
A number of users need authentication and full access to one directory tree per user.
#!/usr/bin/perl -T
use CGI::FileManager;
my $fm = CGI::FileManager->new(
PARAMS => {
AUTH => {
PASSWD_FILE => "/home/user/mypwfile",
}
}
);
$fm->run;
The mypwfile file looks similar to an /etc/passwd file:
username:password:uid:gid:geco:homedir:shell
gid and shell are currently not used
homedir is the directory the user has rights for
password is encrypted by crypt
uid is just a unique number
Initial release
Move file/directory Unzip file (.zip)
Separate CGI::FileManager::Templates add cfm-install.pl install script Use CGI::Application::Plugin::Session remove catching the warning of CA and require higher version of CA add a test that test a particular warning some subs were called as functions, now they are called as methods allowing better subclassing
- install the module as regular CPAN module and add a script that will generate the templates and hard-code their location in the script. - Replace the Unix::ConfigFile with my own implementation Test the module on Windows and find out what need to be done to pass the windows tests ? Especially look at Unix::ConfigFile Show most of the error messages on the directory listing page Support for filenames with funny characters (eg. space) Test all the functions, look for security issues ! Show the current directory (the virtual path) Separate footer/header Enable external templates Security issues: can I be sure that unzipping a file will open files only under the current directory ? What should I do in case a file that comes from an unzip operation already exists ? ZIP: currently the path to unzip is hard coded. It probably should be replaced by Archive::Zip More fancy things: Create file Copy file/directory Unzip file (tar/gz/zip) Edit file (simple editor) look at CGI::Explorer and check what is the relationsip to it ?

We can even go further and provide options # to this "mount" such as read-only (for that specific user) or read/write. #=head2 Quota #Maybe we can also implement some quota on the file system ?
