I was using this file manager in a project of mine and I thought I’d share it with the world.

I created it with the intention of making it easily integrable  into any project. The script uses a single php file to browse, upload, delete and create files and folders.

I also added in some CSS styling and a bit of jQuery to make the tables sortable and to make things run a little smoother.

Here are the features (I’ll add more soon)

• Upload files
• Download Files new
• Delete files
• Create folders
• Sort by file size / name
• Edit files with editarea
• Select which file types you can edit
• Select files to exclude
• Show document icons beside files
• breadcrumb link trail

Features to be added (Mostly simple things that I should have included pretty soon…hopefully)

• Security features (to prevent path injection)
• Allow creation of files
• Rename files
• Download files
• get rid of page loads by using  jQuery

**Please also note that it would be a huge security risk to place this file in a folder available to the public.**

I can’t really put a demo as it would allow everyone to browse my files so instead I created a quick video demo.

** Download temporarily unavailable.  Sorry!

Feel free to tell me what you think
