*** Incompatible changes/defaults:
7) Removed ioFTPD.ini option (Get_External_Ident under [FTP_Service]).
Obsoleted by new BNC_HOST_# feature below.
8) New ioFTPD.ini option (Keep_Links_In_Paths under [Ftp]). By default the
server will now keep symbolic links in the user's current path as I think
users will find this more intuitive. Previously symbolic links were
resolved whenever encountered but that behavior doesn't work well with
pure virtual directories and with 'sorted' style dirs. Internally the
fully resolved path will also be computed at the same time for complete
permission checking, scripts use, etc. Example:
/sorted/dir1 -> /movies/dir1
CWD /sorted/dir1
Disabled: PWD => /movies/dir1, CDUP => /movies
Enabled : PWD => /sorted/dir1, CDUP => /sorted
NOTE: The shared memory ONLINEDATA structure which is essentially
unchanged since v5 (tweaked a bit below!) continues to use the
fully resolved path since that is expected by old scripts. This
may cause some issues if an EXEC scripts internally resolves a
relative (../dir style) links but it can't be avoided unless the
feature is disabled entirely.
9) New ioFTPD.ini option ('OnlineData_Extra_Fields' under [Ftp]). By default
the server will now place additional fields into the ONLINEDATA shared
memory structure that doesn't affect the alignment of any existing fields
if compilers act the way I think they should. If 3rd party shared memory
EXEC scripts or dlls incorrectly display the transfer status or have
problems then just disable this feature.
The gritty details:
BYTE bTransferStatus;
USHORT usDeviceNum;
ULONG ulDataClientIp;
USHORT usDataClientPort;
Since LONG values are word aligned and bTransferStatus should only take
1 byte there should be 3 free bytes to play with. I decided to use 2 of
them to store the internal device number associated with the data transfer
so scripts and ioGUI (updated itcl script only) can display this
information. I probably only needed 1 byte for usDeviceNum but decided to
play it safe since, in theory, devices can be created, reconfigured,
removed, etc and thus numbers over 255 might be possible in rare setups in
the future.
Tested with the old SiteWho.exe and ioGui in shared memory mode.
10) New ioFTPD.ini feature (Enable_Config_Commands under [Ftp]). This
defaults to false which will disable all access to the ADD, DELETE,
INSERT, REPLACE, and SAVE options of the 'site config' command even to
'M' flagged users. To re-enable this functionality just set this to True.
I believe the ability to remotely modify the server's configuration should
really only be done through script addons which can validate proposed
changes and apply them atomically so the .ini file is never left in a
broken state and the server unable to recover. There is also a security
issue. While 'M' flagged users are implicitly trusted and the only ones
with access to any of these options in the first place the potential for
modifications to the underlying operating system and non-vfs-exported
paths is something that shouldn't be possible by default. The only known
use of these options was to dynamically change the server's global and
per-client bandwidth limits via the ioGUI addon.
11) The names of users and groups may no longer start with a plus sign ("+")
to support things like "site chgrp +grpname" without ambiguity.
12) The maximum number of real directories that can be mounted on the same
VFS mountpoint has been reduced to 31 from 32 so I can use a new bitmask
to represent location information while reserving an "other" bit for
things like submounts and virtual directories.
*** New Features
13) New ioFTPD.ini option (BNC_HOST_# under services such as [FTP_Service]).
You can now limit access to the IDTN command to specific IP addresses or
hostnames instead of just being able to enable/disable the option. The
command will also no longer accept the loopback or non-routable local
addresses as valid remote IP addresses since they could always connect
directly. Thus 10.*.*.*, 127.*.*.*, 172.16.*.*, and 192.168.*.* are all
invalid.
14) New ioFTPD.ini option (NTFS_Reparse_Method under [VFS]). The server
now supports 3 modes for handling NTFS directory junctions and symbolic
links.
IGNORE : Treats all directories the same which means the server isn't
aware of NTFS reparse points at all [old method].
SHARE : Make the server aware of NTFS reparse points so it can just keep
a link to the target directory instead of a completely separate
directory listing in the dir cache. This mode also allows the
NTFS junction/symbolic link timestamp to be updated correctly
because it's aware that the time we are interested in is that of
the target directory and not the reparse point itself. For
servers with a lot of 'sorted' style links this will reduce
memory usage. NTFS reparse points still show up in directory
listings as plain directories.
SYMLINK: This is effectively 'SHARE' mode as far as the directory cache
itself is concerned. When displaying the directory in listings
it should be shown as if it were an ioFTPD symbolic link to the
target directory. To me this is the preferred way to view the
listing, however extra processing is required to determine the
target of the link because NTFS junctions use real directory
paths and the server must return a VFS path just as ioFTPD
symbolic links do. Therfore a real->symbolic path converter is
used on the fly as the reversal is VFS mountfile dependent.
[This is the new default]
NOTE: 'SYMLINK' mode has a real advantage over 'SHARE' mode. Because
the listing is clear that you are dealing with a link and not a real
directory you can safely and easily delete the link. In FTP clients
like Flash, Rush, etc this results in a simple file delete and they
won't ask permission, or try, to decend into the directory and start
deleting it's contents so it can remove the directory itself. This
is particularly important because doing so would remove the only
copy of the files as they are actually in the target directory.
WARNING: For the moment reverse VFS resolving used in 'SYMLINK' mode
requires the target directory be exported in the .vfs file else
it won't be reversible.
The reverse resolver needs testing, and perhaps a few performance tweaks,
so if you have problems try 'SHARE' mode.
NTFS junctions (which are a type of reparse point):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_junction_point
NTFS symbolic links (available on Vista+ as a type of reparse point):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_symbolic_link
NOTE: ioFTPD doesn't create NTFS symbolic links (it uses ioFTPD symbolic
links which are always available).
IMPORTANT: If you use a script or if the server supports creating NTFS
symbolic links in the future please see the above symbolic link
article on how to enable the creation of symbolic links by
regular users and non-elevated admins which is something you
want to do for the account running ioFTPD. NTFS junctions
which are what most scripts use don't seem to require special
permissions.
Windows Explorer in Window XP and before show NTFS junctions (it doesn't
support NTFS symlinks) as regular directories. In Vista+ they show up
the same as shell shortcuts ( .lnk files) which makes them far more useful
since you realize you are dealing with a link and unlike ioFTPD symlinks
you can access the target directory by simply clicking on it.
It is unclear how NTFS drive/filesystem mountpoints should be handled.
NTFS symbolic links to files instead of directories are possible, but
ioFTPD will simply treat these as regular files.
15) New ioFTPD.ini option (VFS_Exported_Paths_Only). This safety feature
only works when 'NTFS_Reparse_Method' is set to 'SHARE' or 'SYMLINK'.
When enabled it prevents accessing files and directories that are not
explicitly exported via the VFS file. Thus a NTFS junction/symlink to
c:\Windows wouldn't work since it's unlikely you actually put that into
a VFS file. This is a safety feature for use with NTFS reparse points
and doesn't effect ioFTPD symbolic links because they already had to
be valid VFS paths and thus resolvable via the .vfs file.
16) Broken NTFS junctions/symlinks used to not show up in directory listings
because they were unlistable. For regular users they will now show up as
a file with no permissions, i.e. "----------", which should be easy to
spot. However, 'VM' flagged users will see it as a symbolic link, but
the target will be the invalid real path (not VFS!) from the NTFS junction
or symbolic link.
17) Hidden/Private directories now support a new option that exempts the
custom access check from links returned in virtual directory listings.
Previously the returned VFS links in virtual directories were treated the
same as regular ioFTPD symbolic links with regards to permission
checking. However, if the first character of the flag-style permission
string for the hidden/private directory [chattr 0] is a ":" then that
triggers the hidden/private access check override and users can now access
the file or directory provided they have the normal user/group read (+r)
permissions along the path and on the item itself. There are few extra
restrictions though. The link returned in the virtual directory activates
the override mode, but it will be de-activated before processing any
ioFTPD symbolic links as a safety measure. Similarly, the default it to
not trust that users have access to the target of links returned in
virtual directories, hence the additional requirement that hidden/private
dirs must also have the ":" prefix option specified.
*** This feature has not been tested. ***
18) New FTP command (HELP [-][<cmd>]). Without an argument or just a '-'
this command displays a short summary of known FTP commands. With a valid
command it provides information about how to use that command, valid
arguments and options, and any other useful information the user may need
to know. A dash ('-') prefix before the command name, or by itself for
the summary, disables theme/color output. This may be necessary in some
FTP clients if the output is to be captures and displayed into a different
window than would normally process the color/themes. The descriptions
usually include a note about which RFC or webpage the command's formal
description and syntax can be looked up at.
19) New site command (site help [-][<cmd>]). Without an argument this command
displays a short summary of site commands recognized by the server that
the user should have access to. Access to individual commands are not
verified at runtime but a mechanism for limiting output to certain user
flags is supported in the helpfile itself. With a valid command that the
user has access to (this is checked at runtime) it provides information
about how to use the site command, valid arguments and options, and other
useful information the user may need to know. Undocumented site aliases
are shown to the user if they have access to the command. A dash ('-')
prefix before the command name, or by itself for the summary, disables
theme/color output (see above). Details for 1VM restricted commands may
include references to server .ini configuration options that affect how
the server processes the command.
20) New site command (site refresh [<dir>]). This command simply marks the
current directory (no argument) or the specified directory in the
directory cache as "stale" or "dirty" so the next time it is access it
will be refreshed from disk. You cannot refresh pure virtual directories
at the moment, but just re-listing them will auto-refresh anyway. There
shouldn't really be a need for this command, but it can't hurt and is
useful during testing.
21) New site command (site dircache). This command shows the number of
buckets in the directory hash along with the "max" number of items per
bucket. The actual number in each bucket is then shown in a table
format so you can view the distribution.
Summary counts are then displayed:
Dirs -> Total number of directory entries in the hash table
InUse -> Directories currently in use / locked
Locked -> Soft-locked directories which are in the process of being
moved across filesystems.
Shared -> Count of NTFS junctions/symlinks in cache, only valid
with 'NTFS_Reparse_Method' set to 'SHARED' or 'SYMLINK'.
FileInfos -> Number of file/dir fileinfos referenced by dirs.
InfosUsed -> Directory info structures in use. Shared directories
retain a reference to the target directory and thus
the in use count will usually count shared dirs.
No Info -> No directory info found which usually indicates an
error.
22) New feature for site command (site chgrp <user>). If you don't provide
any group modification requests to site chgrp it will just list the groups
the user currently belongs to now instead of complain about missing args.
23) New feature for site command (site chgrp <user> -*). The original chgrp
command only toggled group membership. Later the [+-.] features were
added to support setting the primary group and to explicitly request
membership or non-membership in a group which was useful for people
writing command macros. However, there was no way to guarantee a final
group list if the user had been added to additional groups the macro
didn't know to remove them from. Thus the new '-*' option which removes
the user from all current groups so you can start from a clean slate.
Please note that the user will always be a member of at least one group as
GID #1 (by default 'NoGroup') is the group any user not a member of at
least one group is automatically added to.
24) The output of 'site chgrp' has been changed to better indicate what
changes are taking place and has been colorized when themes are enabled.
25) Modified site commands (site {chmod|chown} [-R] <arg> <wild*?>:). The
new ":" postfix operator indicates that you wish to just modify only
files that match the wildcard. This is the compliment to the already
available "/" postfix operator that affects only directories.
26) Modified site commands (site {chmod|chown} <wild*?>[/|:]). You can now
specify a wildcard without enabling the recursive (-R) option. You may
also use the postfix "/" or ":" options to affect just directories or
files in the target directory or current directory if no path specified.
27) Modified site command (site addip). When specified with no arguments
it will now display hostmask requirements for the logged in user rather
than complain about insufficient arguments.
28) New option to the LIST/STAT/NLST commands (-d). Limit output to
directories and symbolic links. This could technically be called a
bugfix since the feature was broken but documented.
29) New option to the LIST/STAT/NLST commands (-f). Limit output to
just files. The -d/-f options along with -1 option useful for scripters.
30) New option to the LIST/STAT commands (-V). Available only to VFS Admins
('V' flag) and Master accounts ('M' flag) this option replaces the
group field with a list of "-" separated indexes into the current VFS
mount table for the directory where information from real directories was
used to display the entry. This allows you to see which files and
directories span across real filesystems. A result of just "-" means no
information available, and a '0' index indicates a directory that is a
mountpoint or virtual directory. It is anticipated that in the future
information about the actual mount table will be returned or made easily
available but exactly how hasn't been determined yet.
31) The "site who" command now masks any paths used in commands and applies
the hide mask to the data path as well. Thus "MKD /private/foo" will
show up as "MKD <hidden>" now. Previously the current working directory
determined if the command should be hidden but this didn't account for
scripts that never leave the root directory and issue MKD, STOR, etc all
with full paths into directories that shouldn't be displayed.
32) New site command (site services [ LIST | { ENABLE | DISABLE } <service> ]).
LIST will display known services along with their configuration/status.
ENABLE/DISABLE will modify the status of the specified service. You may
only disable a <service> if you are not connected to it.
33) New site command (site devices [ LIST | { ENABLE | DISABLE } <device> ]).
LIST will display known devices along with their configuration/status.
ENABLE/DISABLE will modify the status of the specified device. You may
only disable a <device> if:
1) It is not the default device of any active service.
2) It is not the last active data device of any active service.
3) You are not currently connected to the device.
Because of these restrictions it is likely you will have to disable
service(s) ('SITE SERVICES DISABLE <device>') before you will be able
to disable some devices.
If you have multiple ISP connections to a machine and wish to enable
or disable them individually you will likely find it useful to create
a unique service/device pair bound to each ISP rather than just one
service using two devices.
34) New supercookie options (%[Service(name)(field)]). Possible field names
increased from 'Users' and 'Transfers' to the following list:
Name Name of Service
Active "Active" or "Inactive"
HostIP "<invalid>", "<any>", or IP (i.e. "127.0.0.1")
HostPort Control port listening on
DeviceName Name of device to bind control port to
DeviceID ID of device control port is bound to
Users Number of logged in users
MaxClients Maximum number of logged in users, -1 = no limit
Transfers Current data transfers in progress
AllowedUsers "<all>" or flag-style permission string
CertificateInUse "<disabled/invalid>" or cert name in use
CertificateWhere "Certificate_Name", "Device HOST=", "default", ""
EncryptionType "Explicit" or "Implicit"
RequireSecureAuth "<disabled>", or flag-style permission string
RequireSecureData "<disabled>", or flag-style permission string
ExternalIdentity "True" if at least one BNC defined else "False"
MessageLocation Path to message files
DataDevices List of device names or "<default>"
DataDeviceSelection "Random" or "FIFO"
AcceptsReady Number of pre-created sockets ready
35) New supercookie (%[Device(name)(field)(size)]). Possible field names:
Name Name of device
ID Numeric device id
Active "Active" or "Inactive"
BindIP "<invalid>", "<any>", or IP (i.e. "127.0.0.1")
HostIP "<invalid>", "<any>", or IP (i.e. "127.0.0.1")
PasvPorts num, num1-num2
OutPorts "<Service port - 1>", "<any>", num, num1-num2
OutRandomize "True" or "False"
GlobalOutLimit Max total outbound bandwidth for device
GlobalInLimit Max total inbound bandwidth for device
ClientOutLimit Max per-client outbound bandwidth for device
ClientInLimit Max per-client inbound bandwidth for device
The size argument is optional for GlobalOutLimit, GlobalInLimit,
ClientOutLimit, and ClientInLimit and defaults to bytes, see Cookies.txt
for a list of valid size specifiers.
36) New cookie (%[$Device]). Name of device you are connected to.
37) New cookies (%[ShowService] and %[ShowDevice]) are valid only during
'site services list' and 'site device list' respectively and indicate
the item name to display information on.
38) Missing EXEC and TCL scripts now return a "Cannot find script" error
message along with the error code.
39) Changed log entry for deleting user:
Disabled user account '%s' and marked it for deletion (msg=%s).
<none> or msg
*** iTCL Changes
40) Updated TCL to v8.5.8.
41) New iTCL global variable ($cwd). This is the user's current visible
working directory in the VFS (i.e. the output of the 'PWD' command) and
is the path used to resolve relative links entered by the user. This
used to always be the same as $pwd (the normalized or absolute path) but
if the new 'Keep_Links_In_Paths' option under [Ftp] is enabled then $cwd
may contain symbolic links in it. [resolve target $cwd] == $pwd.
42) New iTCL command option ([resolve Symbolic <path> [<cwd>]). Similar
functionality to [resolve vfs] but it will keep all symbolic paths in
the result (and any from <cwd>) while internally processing them to
follow the links, verify existance, and check permissions.
43) New iTCL command option ([resolve Normalize <path> [<cwd>]). Just
normalize (i.e. processes ".", "..", etc) in <path> to return a new VFS
path without any relative links in it. No permission checking, link
resolving, etc is performed. This is a simple string processing
operation. Starts from the supplied <cwd> which is taken as is (no
normalizing/resolving/verification), the users current symbolic working
directory if available or '/'.
44) New iTCL command option ([resolve list <path>]). This option allows
access to the internal directory listing logic for the first time by
having it generate a list where each element contains all the detailed
information about the file, directory, symlink, or virtual directory
mountpoint available to the regular LIST, STAT, etc routines. It's
particularly useful in that it returns summary information when using
merged/raided dirs.
Each element of the list looks like:
{ name type uid user gid group size mode attributes
win-last-time unix-last-time win-alt-time unix-alt-time
subdir-count {realpath link ...}
{chattr-0 chattr-1 chattr-2 chattr-3} }
'type' field is: 'd' (dir), 'f' (file), or 'l' (ioFTPD link)
'win*' times are the actual FILETIMEs.
'unix*' times are in time_t or unix style times (seconds)
'realpath' and 'link' come in pairs where 'realpath' is the full path
to the real directory and link {} if a regular directory or in the case
of an NTFS junction the fully resolved target directory path. This
sublist will be {} for virtual dirs or mountpoints.
The first 4 "reserved" chattr fields are returned in order as well:
Private, ioFTPD Symlink, <reserved>, <reserved>.
45) Modified iTCL command ([group delete <group>]). You can now only delete
groups with no members. This check wasn't performed before and would
leave the userdb in an invalid state. First remove users from the group
and then you can delete it.
46) Missing TCL scripts now record create a log entry in SystemError.log
just as EXEC scripts do. The test for TCL scripts before trying to
execute them prevents things like ::tcl_pkgPath variable not being
defined errors which obscures the real cause of the problem.
47) Fixed a bug by increasing the default buffer size allocated for names of
TCL waitobject's which was causing ioNinja to generate all those
translation error log entries.
48) Fixed a bug in [resolve <target|vfs>] when passing a <cwd> argument.
49) Tcl_RegisterHandleLockFunctions(AcquireHandleLock, ReleaseHandleLock) has
been added as a new exported C function to the standard TCL dlls. This
is the first time the TCL code has been modified for use by ioFTPD.
Previously only the makefiles and command line options used for compilation
were touched. In order to fix the race condition with new sockets being
automatically inheritable by child processes it is necessary to share a
lock with the rest of the server and thus some way to communicate what to
share is required. This function just registers 2 callback functions to
call before and after socket and/or process creation.
*** Bug Fixes:
50) Fixed a bug in the %[site2] cookie when using the limit argument which
could cause the server to crash.
51) Fixed incorrect file size being reported in data mode connection response.
52) Fixed a bug in manually preloading directories where the server was
counting total opened directories and not directory depth for deciding
when to stop caching dirs. This meant effectively only the specified
directory and it's subdirs was getting cached ahead of time and not the
whole tree.
53) Fixed the 'Who_Hidden_User' line in the default.ini file. It should be
"sitebot" and not "-sitebot".
54) A rename that results in moving a directory tree across filesystems will
no longer examine mountpoints under the move point because they won't be
moved and thus shouldn't be included in the size used to determine if
there is enough available free space on the target disk.
55) PBSZ command now provides the correct reply according the to FTP
specification if a size other than '0' is requested.
56) Fixed a bug where Group ID #1 (by default 'NoGroup') could be deleted.
GID #1 is special because any users without membership in any other group
is automatically a member of this one and thus it should always exist.
57) Fixed a bug where TCL and EXEC scripts that output non-failure error
codes lines such as "200-" and then throw an uncaught error or crashed
were being interpretted as successful and would therefore have the normal
"200 Command successful" response appended to them. Now they return a
"550 Command failed (script): <error>" failure message. TCL scripts
throwing exceptions return an error of "Fatal script error", while a
range of normal windows error messages associated with processes and
pipes are possible for EXEC scripts.
58) Fixed a bug with random data appearing in the ident field of the user's
current hostmask if 'Ident_Timeout' was set to 0 to disable the server
from sending IDENT requests.
59) Fixed a bug with parent directory information (..) in listings being
incorrect.
60) Fixed a bug where symbolic links were always counted as having been
changed when site chmod ran across them even if they weren't.
61) Modified recursive routine to allow processing of directories only which
can help save a little CPU time during preloading and during chmod -R on
dirs only.
62) Fixed a bug in site chgrp that would leave a reference to a group open
open in some situations that could keep the group from being
deleted until the server was restarted.
63) Fixed a bug in adduser/gadduser where groups counters could be incremented
twice .
64) Modified the way some error messages are displayed yet again...
1) Try to print the error in english.
2) Next try to print the error in the local language, but append the
error number in parens after the text so I can look it up :)
3) Just output "Unknown Error (num)"
65) Fixed a bug with the directory update routine modifying the old root
FILEINFO structure which can be shared and shouldn't be touched. This
likely had no serious side effects, however in some cases the FILEINFO
needed to be reallocated while still being shared or in use elsewhere
which is very bad. The server will now mark the old copy as stale and
creates a new one to share. The refcount will allow for cleanup of the
old entry when it is no longer needed.
66) Fixed a bug where the server would mark a directory cache item as dirty,
but it wouldn't mark the root FILEINFO structure as dirty and thus
directory listings would continue to print the possibly incorrect
subdirectory information from the FILEINFO reference they hold onto.
There was an even worse possibility if the subdirectory was flushed from
the cache while marked dirty but with the same timestamp. In that case
the subdir would never get updated in the parent directory listing until
the parent dir was forced from the cache or the subdir timestamp changed.
It should be noted that the actual contents of the subdir when entered
were always correct, just the timestamp/perms/etc of the subdir listed
from the parent would show up as incorrect.
67) Fixed a bug where an empty or unreadable .vfs file would cause the server
to crash.
68) Fixed manipulation of the device list outside of holding the lock.
69) The MS encryption library ioFTPD uses seems to register/unregister the dll
so that it can't be unloaded while there is an active context. This is
OK behavior, but it does mean it's acquiring the ldr_lock and that is what
is getting stuck so I've wrapped a few calls to the encryption library
with the same lock used for sockets and child processes. If the problem
goes away, we can undo this and see if the problem returns.
70) Include Log_Suppression_Increment option in the default .ini. Feature was
introduced and documented in v6.5 ChangeLog but didn't make it into
the file. It basically allows you to increase the delay between each
suppressed message instead of using the default of '1'.
71) Fixed the foreground/background color example in the message files as I
had the colors switched from the description.
*** Internal non-visible changes:
72) Replaced hundreds of references to VOID * types all over the code with
the real type being used to better debug and catch errors.
73) Eliminated DataOffset usage in most site commands to make things cleaner.
74) Modified the server configuration functions to no longer assume a single
.ini file. This allows for .ini style help files, and for color/theme
information to be places into a separate file for easier updating.
75) Exported functions Config_* changed... added Config_GetIniFile.
76) Exported function OpenDirectory changed.
*** NEW SERIOUS UNFIXED BUGS
77) I don't think ioMoveDirectory understands NTFS junctions/symlinks and
thus any rename that is really a move across filesystems that operates
on one will end up moving the real items... Will need to convert
relative symbolic links into absolute links if copied if they will
point to a different dir at their target location.
