I am wanting to write a script to handle a few things
1. decrypt an encrypted password
2. create new directory
3. put .htaccess file into the new directory
4. allow file upload and subsequent unzip of files into the new directory
5. email to admin of the creation and subsequent events
The password I want to use is a power-user pw (almost root priviledges) so I
want to have the thing entered into the form in an encrypted version, and
the script would call another script (not a sub) to handle the decryption
and pass back the argument to the system call to login as the user and
create the directory.
ie: enter user: bear
enter pw: r4t4
dir to create: fred
file to upload: freddies_pics.zip
user for logins: friends
pass for logins: guest
script does:
system login: bear
password: yada
login successful
mkdir fred
cd fred
upload successful
unzip freddies_pics.zip
touch .htaccess
encrypt guest
put friends:erisy > .htaccess
cat ../.root.priviledges > .htaccess
output to screen:
Directory created successfully
http://server/fred/
please login to verify
mail to admin:
subject: New directory and files done for $user
system login: bear
password: yada
login successful
mkdir fred
cd fred
upload successful
unzip freddies_pics.zip
touch .htaccess
encrypt guest
put friends:erisy > .htaccess
system is locked down to them and the other codes per settings.
That's the design of the flow, now I just need to get the stuff written.
Any suggestions on an easy way to do this?
Thanks,
Robert
