Since Plesk does not have a File Manager, can anyone recommend a good one? Or do people just always use FTP?


Thanks,

Neofree

FTP is widely used. Its much faster to use FTP then use a web based file management system.

A decent PHP one:WebJeff-Filemanager v1.6 (http://www.webjeff.org/langages/php_scripts.htm)





Doesn't do accounts based on server accounts, but a decent one if you want web management..... But I prefer FTP...

The site is in all german, I see the download link, but am afraid the program itself is in german.

I prefer FTP too, but since I cannot install FTP apps at some locations I need another option. I would imagine some customers would have an easier time just going to a web page to access their files. It's handy when you're not at the development system.

Try gossamer-threads.com they have a multiple user version - $150. I am not in hosting business but from their demo it looks pretty good.

The RAQ version is free and works beautifully.
