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.
• Поддержка русского языка @pnsrc

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
