newftpuser hook

I am trying to run a script upon a new FTP user creation. There are no hooks for this from my understanding.

Does anyone know what the script is that Cpanel uses to add a new FTP user?

"/scripts/newftpuser" doesn't work.

the x3 theme has some weird call to addftp() : &cpanel Ftp=&addftp($FORM{'login'},$FORM{'password'})& amp;& but I can't find addftp()


I emailed tech support, and they were helpful, but couldn't find a specific file I can edit.

Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance!

 

Thanks for your response. Is there a pre or post newftp user hook? And if not, Can you direct me to the perl.pm that creates the ftp user so that I can create my own hook?

Thanks

 

*bump*

Does anybody know how cPanel creates addon FTP accounts? what perl script? I can't find it for the life of me. Looked in /scripts /usr/local/cpanel/bin /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel

Any ideas?

 

cpanelnick,

Thanks for replying. I did check the hooks also, but it stated "Hooks only works for Api2 functions, and a few Api1". From my understanding adding new FTP users doesn't have an API2 call (from the list @ cpanel.net).

Are the hooks a bit more documented elsewhere? Any other ideas?

Thanks

 

kenneth,

I have already been up and down the entire documentation that everyone continues to point me to. I have fgrep the entire cPanel directories looking for every piece of code that adds a new FTP. I have emailed cPanel support (Even though I do consider this outside their scope). I wouldn't come to the forums without due diligence to be redirected to the documentation.

It is frustrating that I can't find someone who knows how cPanel adds subftp accounts. What file,function, whatever it is it calls so that I can tap into it if there are no hooks available (From the docs, it doesn't look like there is a hook available. PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong).

 

Awesome! Thank you very much!

 

I was able to use the working example for change password off of /usr/local/cpanel/hooks last week.

Is it giving you errors?

 

I changed it via cPanel. You can actually see the output when cPanel changes it (using x3). the XML-API should technically work too, but I don't think it will work on WHM

 

cpanelnick,

I created a /scripts/postaddftp but it doesn't seem to run at all?

Using WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.8.0-C15921
