Limit amount of FTP transfers caused by "Log tracing by FTP"

Freekers

Hi !

Here's the situation:
I am running ManuAdminMod on my homePC and my gameserver is hosted elsewhere (at EscapedTurkey.com) so I am using the 'Log tracing by FTP' function to trace the games_mp.log file.
However, EscapedTurkey requires that your 'game server account must not be continuously accessed for FTP, log files, or statistics'. They have an limit of 500 FTP transfers per 24 hours, else your IP will be banned. :banned: This happened to me yesterday, so that's why I am opening this topic

The problem is that ManuAdminMod makes an FTP transfer every 2 seconds. See the serverlogfile EscapedTurkey support sent me below:

As you can see from the times, ManuAdminMod makes an FTP transfer every 2 seconds. And since they have a limit of 500 transfers per 24 hours, my IP will get banned very quickly, causing that I cannot access my own gameserver anymore ! :banned:

My question: Is there a way to limit the amount of FTP transfers or limit the interval between the FTP transfers ManuAdminMod makes ?
I found that the file 'parser_ftp.class' handles the FTP logtracing. (It's located in \adminmod\classes ) and looks like this:

PHP

<?php




class parser_ftp extends parser {
 private $host;
private $user;
private $pw;
private $port;
 private $passive;

public function __construct($logfile,  &$success, $host, $user, $pw, $port, $passive = true) {
     $this->logging = &$GLOBALS['logging'];
    $this->host =  $host;
    $this->user = $user;
    $this->pw = $pw;
     $this->port = $port;
    $this->passive = $passive;
     $this->remoteLogFile["dir"] = dirname($logfile);
     $this->remoteLogFile["file"] = basename($logfile);




     $this->localLogFile = LOGDIR . "/ftplog.tmp";







    if  (!$this->connect($errmsg)) {
        $success = false;
         $this->logging->write(MOD_ERROR, "FTP error: $errmsg");
    }
     else {
        $this->logging->write(MOD_NOTICE,  "Successfully connected to FTP server: '$this->host' on port  $this->port as '$this->user'");
    }




     parent::__construct($this->localLogFile, $success);
}




 private function connect(&$errmsg = "") {
    $this->con =  ftp_connect($this->host, $this->port, 5);
    if  (!$this->con) {
        $errmsg = "Connection to $this->host  on port $this->port failed";
        //No connection
         return false;
    }
    if (!ftp_login($this->con,  $this->user, $this->pw)) {
        $errmsg = "Login failed  with user $this->user";
        //Dir does not exist
         return false;
    }
    if (!ftp_pasv($this->con,  $this->passive)) {
        $errmsg = "Passive mode not available  at this server";
        //Passive mode not available

    }

        //Dir does not  exist
        return false;
    }




    $size =  ftp_size($this->con, $this->remoteLogFile["file"]);
    if  ($size == -1) {

        //Server does not support "size"
         return false;
    }
    if ($this->logpos === false) {
         $this->logpos = $size;
    }
    $fp =  fopen($this->localLogFile, "w");
    if (!$fp) {

    fwrite($fp, "\0", 1);
     fclose($fp);
    $this->connected = time();

I hope someone can help me limiting the amount/interval of FTP transfers. I think it shouldn't be too hard, I am guessing by just adding some pauses in the script above the problem can be solved.

Without this solution, I cannot run ManuAdminMod on my server .. :omg: MANU ADMIN MOD !!

Thanks in advance for the trouble to be taken !

Dennis

FTP is not working well yet and not recommended to be used, because of that we can't give you a hint how to limit the access. This even would not work, because if the mam gets the logfiles not every 2 seconds all your commands written would be executed some minutes later ...

manu

Let me see... 500 transfers per 24 h. That means a maximum of 500/(24*60*60) transfers per second. Due that the mod can only check and parse the loglines about every 175 seconds.
If the mod checked the logfiles only every 3 minutes then 3 minutes would pass before a command would be executed or a player would be welcomed... Its a really long time, isn't it?
The mods base is to trace the loglines... LIVE...
If you do not have live access to your logfile the mod won't work.
Sorry...
There is no chance to do it elsewise. If you do not believe me, you can test it yourself: Open daemon.php an go to line 368 and change

Code

sleep(1);

to

Code

sleep(180);

. But I think the ftp connection will timeout in that time anyway...
