phpFileManager

Just like the in the 1990s, everyone needs a good web file manager that does not rely on a silly MySQL database.

Especially useful for situations when you need a quick and simple web admin for an arbitary folder on your website when FTP or SSH is not available/ desired, have friends who are not tech-savy, or simply do not trust any server but your own to store/share your files.

The web based file manager with the features below built using Php

• Password/authentication. Can be configured to be enabled/disabled.
• File Upload. Can be configured to be enabled/disabled.
• Ability to unzip ZIP files to a desired folder.
• Folder creation. Can be configured to be enabled/disabled.
• Folder deletion. Can delete folders that are not empty.
• Customizable directory path.
• Rename files.
• Edit files using the pretty amazing ACE Editor (http://ace.c9.io). Ability to specify which files can be edited. Editing can be configured to be enabled/disabled.
• Configurable hidden files. Ability to specify files that should not be displayed. Can be configured to be enabled/disabled.
• Simple User friendly interface - Clear error and success confirmation messages.
• User customizable interface - HTML and CSS is organized into HTML templates that can be customized without editing Php.
