How to Manage Files and FTP through Web-Interface
Sometimes you may need to manage files and/or FTP through web-interface (without direct access to the files on server or without FTP connection). Joomla provides you with additional extensions for this – eXtplorer and joomlaXplorer.
eXtplorer and joomlaXplorer are File- and FTP management components. They allows you to
- Browse Directories & Files;
- Edit, Copy, Move and Delete files/directories;
- Search, Upload and Download files,
- Create new files, directories and symbolic links;
- Change file permissions;
- Extract Archives
and much more directly on your server. eXtplorer has a completely renewed interface based on the ExtJS library.
Compatibility:
eXtplorer |
Joomla (all versions) + standalone |
joomlaXplorer |
Mambo AND Joomla (all versions) |
To use these components you should download them and install using the administration panel of your site. Learn how to install components
Note: by default, super administrators only have access to this component. You can enable access to it granting a user super administrator’s rights (Learn how to set user permissions).
To open JoomlaXplorer, go to Components -> joomlaXplorer. The component has a intuitive user interface so you should not meet any difficulties with them.
