THE VIRTUAL SERVER HANDBOOK

iManager

iManager enables you to do the most common tasks associated with

maintaining the files on your server. It reduces your need to connect to your

server via Telnet to change file properties. iManager executes many

common commands for you so you can keep your UNIX knowledge to a

minimum. These tasks include:

Editing files

Deleting files

Copying files

Moving files

Linking files

Changing the Permissions of files

Uploading New files to your server

Making New Directories

To install iManager

To install iManager, telnet or SSH to your virtual server and perform the

following steps:

% cd

% tar  xvf /usr/local/contrib/imanager.tar

Running iManager

The virtual server root user and any valid user with a POP or FTP account

can run iManager and access the directories and files that they have rights to

manage.  The iManager startup  prompts for a user name and password as

well as a directory path.  iManager authenticates the user by looking in the

~/etc/passwd file.  If the user does not exist in the password file they will be

denied access.  If the user does exist but is trying to access a directory that

they do not rights to they will be denied access.  If a user has a POP account

only, they will be limited to changing their password.  FTP users will be

able to manage the files in their home directory.
