All scripts have been personally tested for functionality on the local server, PHP version 5.2.8, errors found were corrected, some things were modified or changed to improve functionality (especially for those scripts whose originals I found on one popular English-language resource). About the manager File Thingie I have already told you, below you will find descriptions and links to download several more useful scripts that allow you to work with files on a web server.

If you have any questions about setting up or installing the scripts posted here, please leave a comment and I will be happy to help.

Filemanager

added: 11/14/2014

An advanced file manager in PHP and Ajax, it looks like a Windows Explorer, and even has a drop-down menu on the mouse buttons. There is a built-in player for media files. For the script to work immediately, copy its directory to the root of the site, in the file config.inc.php meaning rootDir we ask rootDir = "../", defaultDir = "" do not change, leave it empty.

phpFileManager

added: 11/16/2014

A very easy to set up file manager. It is a single file that can be copied to any directory on the site. Then we open the settings panel in the script itself, where you can set the root directory (the script will determine it automatically, just copy the hint line), the login password, and select the interface language. The design is not overloaded with anything superfluous, all controls are visible. Can pack folders on the server in zip. Among the shortcomings - messages in Russian are clumsily displayed in some places, the interface is completely translated

Webinsta

added: 11/14/2014

WEBInsta is a good file manager, but it lacks an editing function text formats, although the source code of php files can still be viewed. The script is configured during the installation process, from the browser, be careful in this place - the script calculates the working path, which ends with the name of the directory in which it itself is located. Delete the name of the script directory, otherwise after installation you will see only those files that are in it, and what lies above will be inaccessible.

MicroFileBrowser

added: 11/14/2014

Quite an interesting script - we enter an address like "../../" into the input field, click List content, and get a listing of directories located at the upper levels. If you run this script on a remote machine, you can reach any directories in file system, though you won’t be able to download anything from there, you can only view the folders and what’s inside.

WebFileManager

added: 11/14/2014

Simple file manager, no features COPY, MOVE, does not know how to delete non-empty directories.

PH_Pexplorer

added: 11/14/2014

This is a solid script, two-panel, in the style of Windows Explorer. All the functions necessary for a file manager are present, there is even a HEX editor. True, I didn’t figure out how to work with zip archives; I couldn’t do anything with them on the local server. Easy to configure - in the file inc/settings.php replace the string $c_path="example_dir"; on $c_path="../";(It is assumed that the script directory will be in the root of the site.)

Webadmin

added: 11/14/2014

A script that allows you to view the contents of directories outside home directory server. And not only view, there are also functions for copying, deleting, creating files and directories, if you run this script on the hosting, then using this script you can view the system directories of the computer where your site is hosted. I do not recommend trying to delete anything there, although it is unlikely to succeed - the script will not have enough privileges to perform these actions.

eXtplorer

added: 11/16/2014

The script was created with using PHP and Ajax, looks like a Windows application (there is even a menu on the right mouse button) and has solid functionality. You can install the file manager in any directory on the site; it should detect the site root automatically. When you use it for the first time, the script will ask for authorization, by default the login and password are admin. To continue working, you will need to change your password to your own after logging in. After changing the password, it is better to immediately exit and close the browser. It happened to me that after successfully changing the password, eXtplorer did not let me in with the new password - perhaps the page was cached or the session was not cleared. You can manually change the password by editing the file config/.htusers.php, the password must already be recoded to md5, e.g. (this is "0000" - 4 zeros)

File Manager Features:
- You can set access rights to files and directories. There are two types of rights: access or no access. The files are stored in a folder that is not accessible for downloading via a direct link. The file is downloaded with a preliminary check of the user and access rights to the file. Any file manager user can have administrator rights, which is indicated when adding a new or editing an existing user. The administrator can see everything, including “deleted” files.
- Version control of each file. Once a file is downloaded, it is saved with a name that prevents it from being overwritten existing files, and its “original” name is stored in the database. This approach allows storing different states of files.
- Automatic creation of previews of downloaded images.
- The file in the manager can be made available for downloading
- GPL, code available on github

FM was created without the use of frameworks. This is a fairly normal MVC application, where the main controller actions can be triggered by an AJAX request, for example:
- when initializing the application, the AJAX controller /ajax/fm/?action=files is called, the files() function, depending on the current directory stored in the session, receives a list of files and directories.
- clicking on a file makes the DIV with id = “fDialog” active, and depending on the selected tab of the dialog box, it receives the necessary data for the current file.

By following the link you can familiarize yourself with the basics of the application.

Ajax Upload is used to upload files. It supports multi-upload and allows you to upload files by drag&dropping them to the “Upload Files” button. Main disadvantage: Ajax Upload does not work on tablet (Android) devices.

Installation:
1) Download the github file manager code
2) Create a database and a user to access the database. The dump is stored in the /sql/fm.sql folder
3) Unpack the source code of the system into any directory on the web server
4) Set write permissions for the required directories:
/cache/ /upload/ /upload/_thumb/

5) Edit the /system/config.ini file:

twig_cache = false

; the paths used by the system do not need to be changed
application = "/system/"
library = "/system/library/"
controller = "/system/Controller/"
templates = "/system/View/templates/"
layouts = "/system/View/layouts/"
cache = "/cache"
upload = "upload/"

; maximum upload file size in bytes
sizeLimit = 10485760
; background color for created thumbnails and JPEG compression quality
rgb = 0xFFFFFF
quality = 100

; parameters for accessing the database
; because PDO is used, other databases can be used
adapter = "mysql"
host = "localhost"
username = ""
password = ""
dbname = ""
6) Open a file manager in the browser. To login filemanager/filemanager
Login/Password for a user with administrator rights

1) Ajax Upload
valums.com/ajax-upload/
2) File type icons: OSX 3.3

P.S. You cannot make any changes in the file manager demo. ReadOnly, this is on purpose.
The file manager interface is quite simple, if the project is of interest, I promise to work on the interface.
