just a nice speed checker,the stro's speed down and up and posted back into postbit

then u need to have execute rights on the ftp server..., and most ftp servers dont have that option turned on

You would probably have to use something the like Grim's to output checked speed
to a text file, then parse the code into your forums somehow (a few different ways
I can think of atm). Example would be from this thread: http://www.vbhacks.us/forum/showthread.php?t=413 (view the first attachment).

Only 2 problems here.... First, the speed would be determined by the maximum speed
your own box is (assuming you run it from your machine), and the other is pulling
info from the board and sticking into Grim's as I have no idea how you would automate
such process. I'm sure if you had a *nix box to do this with, you might be able to
just use wget and parse its output to show only the rate of transfer, although that
in itself has a few other complications.

Basically, it would be pretty difficult to code and would depend on completely
static variables (ie operating system it's running on, program used to retrieve data).
You'd also need a specific file to retrieve on the str0, which I'm sure you could
code as either static or dynamic, the later being a bit more difficult.

If you could find a dedicated coder, I'm sure you could works things out,
but personally I wouldn't touch it.

nice bit of onfo thanks m8

would be easyer just to check a txt doc for about 5 lines and post with the status checker..
could be a lot better this way so the server status & speed checkers makes the text doc and the ftp status checker checks this text doc and posts info under online ofline logo in postbit tempates

http://host/status.php?ftp=$username:$password@$ip:$port/$path/speed.txt

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
or a easyer way so main poster just selects a speed, dump size,in newthread and posted near the speed checker

hope some one can help me on my quest
thanks

it will rape your b\w.

you can just add another field to lockdown "Speed\Size".
Though usually people write it in the topic.

maby can someone create it with a modded speedtest

sever, here is the thing

Imagine your self very active FXP board. that on each post, it checks Speed test for the server. now, think about what happened if 5-10 people post at the same time..
The result will be, the server will crash, or it will be SLOW AS HELL, therefor i think that its not the best idea of making it.

:p

another thing to think about: SECURITY!!!!!!!!!!

I have said this a few times before, although the auto ftp checker etc etc is/are very handy features they pose a high security risk on your very legal board.
