You know how some web host's run these file manager kits so you can upload and edit files etc without connecting to FTP - just using a simple web page instead? You do? OK....
I work all day in an office and I'm stuck behind a firewall that essentially only alows connections on port 80. This is a pain because I cannot access my php files etc at work via FTP (BPFTP) on my computer at home. I have been resorting to zipping the websites on an evening and downloading the zip files via http at work then emailing the modified zip archive back to my home address when I'm finished work. It's a pain.
Does anybody know of any file manager web apps that run in PHP so i can just install this on my system and dynamically do work on my web pages without the direct use of FTP? - Kinda like Really easy to set up the same way as phpMyAdmin type thing.
Failing this I'll have to write my own but I'd prefer to spend my time doing my client websites and there's no way my app would be as functional as one I could download from elsewhere.
Thanks that's really useful. Just testing one out now.
I found using google an app called PHPthingie but despite it's cool name the single PHP script based app is a little bit too basic although agreeably usable.
Just a quick update to say that I stuck with FileThingie in the end. It was only one file and I just wrote a quick PHP script to upload the single file via FTP to my computer at home (I had to run both files on an external web server initially of course since I'm stuck behind a firewall). Once I got the PHP file on my web server I was ok to manage my files dynamically without using FTP.
