A Quick Quide To FTP T@gginG
The only way to learn how to tag is practice!
Some FTP's will not allow folders to have a dot @ the end, some wont allow %d %e etc. Some UNIX ftp's will use NT conditions & vice-versa.
A good way of testing a system is to make a 'Maze'.
This is done by making loads of folders with similar names, just test different methods here.
(And if u f**k up it doesnt matter ^_^)
...:: Trick Directories ::...
=================
According to Microsoft, "Names cannot end with Dot '.', or Space ' '." Given that MS claims it cannot be done, it clearly is an unidentified exploit, or flaw, in Windows.
So if you make a trick directory, you either cant get in or you cant see the folder ^_^
UNIX ftp's use the escape character to lock folders. The escape character is ے
...:: How to Make a Protected Directory ::...
===============================
Make a folder called (Dont type [space] - use a space instead ^_^)
./test[space]/[space]/
Then, select Make New Directory again and type:
./test[space]/here/
To access your pub, just paste the path into your FTP client.
Another method that is more secure is to name as follows...
Make New Directory and type:
./ . test . / /
then
./ . test . /here/
You cant make a clone dir on the vast majority of NTs for the clone will not display the dot at the end:
./ . test . /
appears as:
/ . test /
(Change test and here to your tag & group)
...:: Illegal/Reserved Names ::...
======================
Windows does not normally allow a person to make a dir with the name CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, etc. , LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, etc., PRN, and NUL. But using the placeholder method one can make such a directory, i.e.
Select Make New Directory and type:
./nul[space]/[space]/
Select Make New Directory again and type:
./nul[space]/path/
Such an illegal named directory cannot normally be cloned so in order to view the directory`s contents, you need to either rename it.
...:: Locking Files ::...
===============
In order to make a tag that cant be removed with the delete command, make a new text file on your desktop, launch FlashFXP, browse to your desktop, and browse to the server where you want to place the file, then upload it.
After it is on the server, Rename it as:
yourname.yourgroup.date[space]/[space]/ and hit enter
You can however overwrite such a non-deletable file by making a dir with the same name, causing the dir to overwrite the tag file. This doesnt work on all NT servers.
To make any file non-deletable, click Rename and do the same thing.
Example:
thefile.zip
becomes
thefile.zip[space]/[space]/
or
thefile.zip
becomes
thefile.zip ے
Just figured this out.....
Another way to make files undeletable on a UNIX server AFTER uploading.....
file.exe
change to
file.exe /ے/
...:: Notes ::...
==========
Some servers handle the spaces and dots in folder name strangly, & dont like illegal characters at the end.
So if you cant make a folder
./ .test. /here/
Try
./ .test/here/
Another tip, when making folders ALWAYS use a dot first. e.g.
./test/
This makes the folder in the current directory & not in the root!!
I Hope This Helps
