Run program on FTP Server

Question by NetGuy | 2013-08-23 at 18:47

Is there a command to start an arbitrary application on an FTP server on the server side?

I want to pass the name of the application and some parameters via an FTP command and the program should be started on the server with the given parameters.

Yes there is, the command you are looking for is called "SITE EXEC". Here's an example:

site exec tool.exe

But be careful: On most newer FTP servers, this command is disabled and if you switch it on, you are running into a big security risk because with this command, you can actually do anything on the server...
