IFM is a compact browser-based file manager built with PHP and JavaScript.
The application can be compiled into a single PHP file and dropped onto a PHP-enabled web server. A bundled build can include its client-side dependencies so the interface does not need to retrieve them from external CDNs.
IFM can also be deployed with Docker and includes support for browser-based editing, remote uploads and LDAP authentication.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Create and edit files and directories.
- Copy and move files and complete directory trees.
- Download files and directories.
- Upload local files, fetch files from remote URLs and accept drag-and-drop uploads.
- Extract TAR, TGZ, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2 and ZIP archives.
- Change filesystem permissions from the browser.
- Preview image files.
- Edit text and source files using the ACE editor.
- Use simple authentication or authenticate against LDAP.
- Choose between CDN and completely bundled single-file builds.
- Deploy directly to a PHP web server or using Docker.
