Tiny File Manager is a lightweight browser-based file manager implemented as a single PHP file.
It can be copied into a directory on a PHP-enabled web server and used to browse, upload, edit and organise files without installing a database or larger application stack. Accounts can be restricted to individual root directories.
Besides conventional file management, Tiny File Manager offers drag-and-drop and URL uploads, archive handling, document previews and an integrated code editor. Upstream cautions against using the script as a permanently exposed public file manager.
This is free and open source software.
