This web based file manager is designed to allow developers to have access to their web server files over the internet. The application supports multiple users with user level permissions on directories, uploads, creation and editing of files and folders. Their are also permissions based off file extensions. The application is also has a text file editor and text file viewer.
This is my second try at this type of applcation, the original is still available on this site at http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=147&lngWId=10 .
See the readme.txt file for a bit of help getting started.
A few items are missing still: allowing user to change password on login screen(admins can change passwords in admin tool now) and change the file permissions in the admin tool.
I would also like to add a multiple file upload capability (through zip file uploads, which would then be unzipped on the server).

It sounds like asp.net can't find the explorer.dll
Does the folder you unzipped the files to have a bin directory with an explorer.dll file in it? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I can login (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Great application ~ I just can't seem to set the permissions correctly as any password changes or any file mgmt aside for seeing the directory listing results with permission denied/server errors. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Try creating a D:\Website folder on your hard drive. The default account that is set up has full access to that folder. See if you can get that to work, otherwise you probably need to set permissions to allow the asp.net account to access those folders. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

There are no .dll files in the BIN directory of the ZIP-file. Does anybody have a good ZIP-File?? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Hey, It just keeps saying error trying to add new user, but doesnt give me reason why. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
6/24/2004 7:22:30 AM:
dont worry, is fixed. just web admin saying permissions are set when theyre not. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
6/24/2004 7:58:18 AM:
I would just like to say that i uploaded the files to my webserver, and have found out that you dont check which folders the user is browsing against there user permissions. This means any user can use this web app to browse entire server directories viewing any and all source files the wanted. Yeah.. fun days :) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I will take a look and see if I can reproduce and fix the items you mentioned. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
6/25/2004 12:25:36 AM:
This was my fix: In ViewDetails.ascx.vb (SetCurrentDirectory) replace the last part with the following:
Dim row As DataRow = UserPermission.GetPermission(Path.GetFullPath(CurrentDirectory)) If row("Permission") = False Then If CurrentDirectory <> Session("HomeDirectory") Then Response.Redirect("Explorer.aspx?dir=" & Session("HomeDirectory")) row = UserPermission.GetPermission(Path.GetFullPath(Session("HomeDirectory"))) If row("Permission") = False Then 'bad things man, bad things
'Trace.Warn("bad things man", "bad things") 'Response.Redirect("Login.aspx") End If End If End If

PlanetSourceCode removes all dll and exe files from zips(virus prevention). You will need Visual Studio.Net to build this project, or you can send me an email to get the zip with the dll included. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Great app. I am having an issue where I can not navigate to a folder that I create within my home directory. I can't access it by clicking on it or by selecting the choose directory dropdown. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.

Cant seem to login. Dont wanna play around with With the Validate function, but password <> password tho I can see the username = admin from the db file where the passowrd field is encrypted. I gotta get a way to creating new user before the login screen takes over. What do you think author? Other than that.. the login screen looks neat. Get back to me! I want to see if large files that are over 20MB and up can be uploaded with this to my IIS box. I know there is a config in the web.config that gotta be set but dont remember which ones...

I think this is one of the best designed and coded project I have seen here so far! I like it so much that I am gonna implement it into any project I make. One thing I notice though that kinda disappointed me a bit. What happent to file DOWNLOAD???? or browsing folders? If a user is in his/her HomeDirectory, dont you think they should be access the child folders in it? I am gonna work on making that possible. But Uploading files!!? I just uploaded a 20MB file from my SERVER to my HomeDirectory. They both on the same BOX but atleast I didn't get a Timeout error or Page Contains No Data error. So I will let my Friend test it for me from his computer..I like the app tho, gotta give it up!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
