Re: Replacing links en masse on an ftp accessible server only

Kompu Kid a écrit :

Hello All:

I have access to my web server only through ftp.

There are some directory structures that an administrator changed, and
all my links are broken.

I identified the text pattern to change in my links, and if the web
pages were locally accessible, or if I could remote connect to the
server, I could write a small program to change these, but ftp only
access is not letting me use these options.

Are there any tools out there that can work through an ftp connection?

If CGI is enabled on server, you could upload a script (perl, bash...)
on the server and run it through an HTTP URL call.

Be sure tu add security access control to the CGI script so it can't be
used out of purpose to modify random fils by unknown undesirable people.

Remove that script after use to be sure.

Thanks!
