File & Directory Browser

This is a simple extension that will mount and manage pre-configured routes that serve file system directories.

NOTE: This is extension was designed to s manage serving files that are not currently located in the site's web root.

NOTE: The web server user must be able to read the source directory.

Configuration

Edit the routes: key in app/config/extensions/file-browser.bolt.yml and add named entries that define:

• mount — The base mount URL
• source — The full file system path to the directory to serve

routes:
    manuals:
        mount: manuals
        source: /public/manuals
    pictures:
        mount: downloads/pictures
        source: /data/export/media/pictures
    videos:
        mount: downloads/videos
        source: /data/export/media/videos

Web Server

You may need to adjust web server rules to allow/disallow certain file types.

Some examples below.

Nginx

    location ~* /downloads/.*\.(?:doc|gif|ico|jpe?g|jpeg|jpg|mp4|ogg|ogv|png|ppt|svg|svgz|wav|xls)$ {
        expires             max;
        add_header          Pragma public;
        add_header          Cache-Control "public, mustrevalidate, proxy-revalidate";
