Re: [CentOS] access to file system through web browser
I am trying to find something (php prefered) that I can stick onto a Centos apache server that would allow me to browse a selected file system by employees through a web-browser explorer like interface.

Others have suggested enabling indexes in apache which will work if all you have to do is read and apache has file system permissions. I haven't used it for a while, but I thought webmin had a decent file manager component and you might find some of the other modules useful too. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] access to file system through web browser
Hi Using apache (either webdav or index) destroys the file permissions, on top of that I have to add the user that runs apache (nobody) to the group permissions having access to the file system. Most of my file systems do not have global access, only owner/group ... especially when it comes to data files ... WINSCP uses ssh, and ssh (when logged in) uses the file permissions that are used within the system. This is one of the prime reasons using WINSCP. The only way I can achieve keeping the permissions alive using either WINSCP (or derivatives) or a UI (php based) that interacts with the filessystem sthrough php based functions (imap,ftp,ssh). I found a few .. and there are some really good ones ... after I put the correct search terms in (thanks for that hint). http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=enq=php+file+browser Jobst On Thu, Aug 05, 2010 at 11:08:28AM +1000, Jobst Schmalenbach (jo...@barrett.com.au) wrote: Hi.
