web filemanager needed
October 22, 2008 4:48 PM Subscribe
I need web access to a directory of files, so a web based file manager or ftp client. But unix file permissions need to be followed, so file ownership needs to be retained and obeyed (login, password, move/copy/delete). Additionally, most of the files are jpgs and I'd like for there to be a thumbnail icons view as well as filenames. Anything?
And a pony.
Most php or java file manager / CMS ignore unix permissions and save everything as the web server process (if they even save to the file system and not into a database).
This comes from having a Samba share that remote offices are having trouble accessing over the vpn so we want an alternative access method (to SMB) for the same group of files.

Many web browsers speak FTP, which gets you everything except the thumbnails, pretty much for free.

Davenport is a webdav interface to samba shares. It behaves just like your existing smb clients with respect to file permissions. No thumbnails, and I don't think any browsers have enabled uploading files through webdav, but you can mount it under Windows or Mac to browse the directory.
