simple-file-manager

A Simple PHP file manager. The code is a single php file.

Just copy index.php to a folder on your webserver.

Why it is good

• Single file, there are no images, or css folders.
• Ajax based so it is fast, but doesn't break the back button
• Allows drag and drop file uploads if the folder is writable by the webserver (chmod 777 your/folder)
• Suits my aesthetics. More like Dropbox, and less like Windows Explorer
• Works with Unicode file names
• The interface is usable from an iPad
• XSRF protection, and an optional password.
• Allows to write to files, even possible to modify php files read from server

Do not allow uploads on the public web

If you allow uploads on the public web, it is only a matter of time before your server is hosting and serving very illegal content. Any of the following options will prevent this:

• Don't make the folder writable by the webserver chmod 775
• Set $allow_upload = false
• Use a password $PASSWORD = 'some password'
• Use a .htaccess file with Apache, or auth_basic for nginx
• Only use this on a private network

Forks

• Edit feature. An extension of the initial project which lets you edit files and save them from the main php file. Works asynchronously with ajax requests. Link: @diego95root
