Description

A super simple web-based file manager written for node. Hopefully, this will be made modular so it can be dropped into other projects at will.

Requirements

• node.js -- v0.6.0 or newer
• mmmagic -- v0.3.4 or newer
• express -- v3.4.0 or newer
• express3-handlebars -- v0.5.0 or newer

Install

npm install

Or a one-liner

git clone https://github.com/seanstar12/nodeFileBrowser.git; cd nodeFileBrowser; npm install

Features

Current:

• Working breadcrumbs (delicious...)
• Ability to change port
• Ability to allow / ban symlinks
• Ability to allow / ban hidden files
• Set a custom directory.

Future:

• Create users and manage permissions
• Create guest accounts with access timeouts
• Add a public folder / dropbox (can upload but cannot see files)
• Ability to upload / delete / rename / etc..
• Zip multiple files and download all at once
• • more?

Chopping Block (My todo list):

• Rework '/' to a function based operation
• Change the reading of filetypes to a list of known types
• Need to finalize signup page
• Add proper routes to handle/manage users
• Setup some sort of DB and get rid of config file
• Bug: Fails to load on empty directory

Use

Should be straight forward. Configure the options and port inside of app.js. Enjoy.
