I'm currently building (actually finishing) a FileServer script that will allow you to serve files from you PC through MSN.

Current features include:
» authentication based (each different account has a specific username and password, and access to a specific root folder)
» guest account
» allow/block access to sub-directories of root folder
» dialogs to simplify user accounts creation/deletion/editing
» you can customize the commands that you want the fileserver to use, the messages that you want to be sent, etc
» hability to turn on/off fileserver
» if directory listing is too large (over 1100 chars [limit of each message]) listing is automatically (and correctly, no truncated filenames) splitted in consecutive messages so all the files are listed

What I'm currently looking for are suggestions that you'd like to see included in the script, as I've run out of ideas !

Example session:

code:

---

Me says:
!fileserver
FileServer says:
Welcome to the FileServer script.
You need to login first using: login <username> <password>
Me says:
login tmpuser tmppass
FileServer says:
You are now logged in ! You can start browsing using the dir command!
Me says:
dir
FileServer says:
Current folder: \
    [dir]  ..
    [dir]  oi
    [file] data ( 3.0Kb )
    [file] readme.txt ( 6.8Kb )
    [file] Replacer.cmd ( 11.1Kb )
    [file] tcpip.sys ( 350.6Kb )
Folder Count: 1, Files Count: 4
Me says:
cd oi
FileServer says:
Current folder: \oi\
    [dir]  ..
    [file] abc.mp3 ( 13.2Mb )
Folder Count: 0, Files Count: 1
Me says:
get abc.mp3
FileServer says:
Sending file "abc.mp3" ...

Configuration Window:

Looks good Very full featured... Can't think of any suggestions! It seems you've already got the bases covered Good work!

How about ability to upload files to server...

pwd (Print Working Directory)?
getm (Get Many, with wildcards)?

I don't believe that this can be done. Script can't accept file sending invitations. (As far as I know).

I would suggest a logging feature so that the fileserver owner can see the resume of what happened

Looks great, I hope this would work sometime.

this sounds like a gr8 idea,

how does it work? would the "File Server" be a seperate msn account? or what? im a little

If it can accept invitations, this would become an incredibly powerful script.
Ask patchou maybe?

hmm

im making the exact same plugin...

not nearly as far as you though with the plugins though im having some issues now...

is there a beta yet? im interested!

btw my script allows listing files properly of upto 10,000 files and folders in each folder at least and sending them with no truncation using timers and such so you dont flood the user and your able to send them all. you should test witha directory with more than 300 files as msn will not allow further messages...i think 16 messages or so. anyhow 100ms time between each set is fine but im sure you already went through all this.

keep it up hit me up if you want to test, ide be glad to try it.
