Ftp server - view thumbnails via browser?


Ftp server - view thumbnails via browser? jason NO[at]SPAM catamaranco.com

iis ftp: Would anyone know how to allow a user who enters our ftp server to 'view'
the thubmiail versions of our images...?

While it is possible to 'enable' this via the 'view' menu it does not show
up as a thumbnail in the folder view....

Is there a way for me to achieve this?

Replies greatly appreciated!
Jason

Thanks I did think of that but how would the web script in the wwwroot
access the secure folder in the /ftproot....

I thought that web scripts cannot access that foldeer?

Thanks

Well, it wouldn't be a server setting for sure - it's outside the scope of
the FTP protocol by far. The client would probably have to handle it, and
that would entail pulling down all the data and processing it locally, so
basically that's a no.

I'd be inclined to build a web-based interface instead - usign ASP.NET and
GDI+ you could make a neat server-side thumbnailing script and display the
data however you feel like. In fact there is almost certainly a bunch of
source code available via www.asp.net for this purpose

Why not? With correct permissions you can do anything. And you can
serve content from outside the web hierarchy by using a virtual
folder.
