About AjaXplorer

AjaXplorer is an easy-to-install files explorer for remotely managing files on a web server, or using as a simple filesharing system. Its rich layout and actions make it accessible to any end-user. It requires PHP and FTP access to install.I developed it for a file sharing purpose, and it is now available for download on Sourceforge.net. The interface is Ajax based, thus providing very intuitive functionnalities, very close of a standard filesystem explorer you can find on any OS.

It is currently on version 1.5 under LGPL License.

It is very best viewed with Mozilla Firefox 2 but is also fully functionnal on IE 6.

Features

  • Files manipulation : Upload/Rename/Copy/Move/Delete/Download files.
  • Bookmarks system
  • Create folders, create empty files
  • Edit textual files : code files (js, php, html, java, sql, perl) are syntax highlighted in the editor
  • View images online, preview images in the list
  • Multiple root directory : define many directories to browse on your filesystem and switch easily between them.
  • Multiple selection : copy/move/delete action can be applied to a multiple selection. Upload many files at once.
  • Keyboard shortcuts : the whole interface can be managed from keyboard (ctrl/maj+up/down for selection, tab for navigation between panels, one letter by action, esc for closing dialog windows)
  • Send URL to a friend (needs the server to have the “mail” function working)

The current version does not implement any user management system. There is a “user” variable that can be passed in the url to implement users bookmarks, but there is no protection and logging system. Thus, you are strongly advised to use HTTP identification to protect your file manager.

Installation

Just download the zip on SourceForge, unzip, change configuration variables, upload it on your webserver and your done! Installations instructions can be found in the doc/ directory.
