FileMan Features

FileMan is a web-based File Manager that allows a user to completely manage a website without the need for FTP or Shell access

Core Features

Auto Installer

Our installation program automatically unarchives everything and set permissions. No more editing text files: everything is controlled from the web.

No System Calls

There are no system calls in FileMan 2: everything is implemented in Perl. This results in quicker performance and will function on both Windows and Unix servers.

User Features

HTML Editor

You can edit existing HTML or create new HTML pages with a built in WYSIWYG HTML editor. Edit HTML Files

Password Protect Directories

Includes support to manage .htaccess and .htpasswd files, allowing you to password protect directories on Apache (disabled in demo). Preferences and Password Protection

Perl Check

Quickly check the syntax of any Perl file: just select the file and click on Perl (disabled in demo).

Advanced Search/Find & Replace

Users can quickly find files using our built in search feature. You can search by filename, or by the actual contents of files.

Users can perform search and replace commands on entire directories or selected files. Search and Replace Functions

System Commands

FileMan lets you run system commands, providing a virtual shell account. Great for systems that don't provide any shell access (disabled in demo). System Commands

Tail & Diff

View the last n lines of a large file (alarge access log, for example) quickly and efficiently.

View the differences between two text files and review changes in standard diff format.

Tar Management

FileMan can create, view, or extract from tar files or .tar.gz files (requires optional Compress::Zlib module). Create backups of your system quickly by clicking on the directory and selecting Tar. Tar Management

Admin Features

Powerful User Management

View users quickly by username, or easily search for them via e-mail address, directory or any other field.

Customizable User Commands & Access

You can enable or disable all commands for any user. Users are only given access to the directories you specify (unless you allow Command or Perl options in which case it is possible to get outside of the given directory).
