Powerful Multi-User File Manager

FileGator - Powerful Multi-User File Manager

FileGator is a free, open-source, self-hosted web application for managing files and folders.

You can manage files inside your local repository folder (on your server's hard drive) or connect to other storage adapters (see below).

FileGator has multi-user support so you can have admins and other users managing files with different access permissions, roles and home folders.

All basic file operations are supported: copy, move, rename, edit, create, delete, preview, zip, unzip, download, upload.

If allowed, users can download multiple files or folders at once.

File upload supports drag&drop, progress bar, pause and resume. Upload is chunked so you should be able to upload large files regardless of your server configuration.

Sponsors & Backers

FileGator is a free, open-source project. It's an independent project with its ongoing development made possible entirely thanks to the support by these awesome backers. If you'd like to join them, please consider:

Deployment

Set the website document root to filegator/dist directory. This is also known as 'public' folder.

NOTE: For security reasons filegator/dist is the ONLY folder you want to be exposed through the web. Everything else should be outside of your web root, this way people can’t access any of your important files through the browser. If you run the script from the root folder, you will see the message 'Development mode' as a security warning.

additional simple login security

Hello,

is it possible to block an IP for e.g. 1 hour after 3 unsuccessful logins? And after another 2 unsuccessful logins, to ban them forever? And with a corresponding note. (without cookies)

Is there anything like that? If so, how can I implement it?
If not, is there another login security solution? ( I don't like google-recaptcha!!! )

Note: I use the precompiled build

thank you

"Copy link" doesn't work

Hi

how exactly should work Copy link function? When I'm logged, copy link of a file and open it in anonymous window I see only text "Not Found", there is nothing in the app.log.

When I copy link in the window where I'm logged in, it only refresh page in folder where I was (not in the folder with the linked file).

thx

Text not available for translation

Hi

1.
Not sure if this is case for the other languages (I guess it is), but these two Download texts need separate translation, because first one is a verb and second one is a noun.
a)

b)

2.
Role names are not translated in users list but they are translated when editing a user. Also "Guest" need to be added to translation.

a)

b)

thank you!

Where to put the multilanguage file to make Filegator support other language interface?

Hi, I see in FAQ that Filegator support many other languages in addition to English and German, but after I obtained the language pack from File-gator.com, I cannot see where to put those language files.

Looking to be able to easily recognize urls when pasting a few of them in an email. Since its dynamically generating the urls, its impossible to know what file it is when going back through emails or going through a list. Possible to list the filename in it?

Bug report: File links and file expose over the web

Bug 1:
When you create a new user (user B) with separate folder to other users (user A). The file link generated by the user A allow to be used by user B when they have same file uploaded.

Expected behavior

• It would be better if each user file have unique file link.
• The file link generated by the user A should not be used by user B when they have same file uploaded.

Bug 2:
The default file storage or folder (/repository) is accessible on the web.
Example: www.domain.com/filegator/repository/
The files are visible and downloadable by anyone.

Expected behavior

• By default the folder (/repository) permission and execution must set to restricted access by public.

is there any way to point a different s3 bucket to a different user?

Just wondering if i could point specific S3 buckets to different users .

Auto Login

First of all thank you for the amazing repository. Looks fabulous.

I am looking to use this file manager as a part of another application. I would like to authenticate user to use the file manager when user is authenticated on the parent application.

So, what I am looking for is similar:

if( is_logged_in_parent() ){
    $auth->authenticate();
}else{
   $auth->forget();
}

Will it need a new type of adapter?

Step by step

Hi,
I'm new in GitHub.
I'd like to personalize my version of file gator (colors, language, logo).
I see the development section on your website but I don't understand very well.

Exist any guide that help me for customize?
Thank you very much

The display is taking too much viewport in mobile

Hai, thank you for the project. This seems the most promising php file manager (been using responsive file manager, tinyfilemanager, and some others) out there.

The display list is taking too much viewport in mobile. I think it's better to use a single line for a file display in mobile. With the current it takes a table of 3 row just to display a file in mobile view.

Thank you 😃

Give access to multiple folders to a user

Hi, is it possible to give access to multiple folders of the same level (not parents and childs), or is it on the roadmap for future versions?

Do not include configuration.php, so settings won't be overwritten during update

Hello,

if possible please do not include configuration.php in release files and add code to create it when missing as copy of the configuration_sample.php file. Or maybe it should be renamed as configuration_default.php.
Thanks to this configuration.php won't be overwriten during update when all files are copied via ftp etc.

thanks

Feature Request : Overwrite Files

Is it possible to overwrite Files with the same name ?

overwrite file

Hi

I have the download filegator, and have it set up on my site.
I want when a file uploads that it overwrites the old one.
I have looked in your FAQ but cannot find the file "upload.class.php" which is mentioned in the FAQ

Is there a way I can force the uploaded file to overwrite the current file of the same name?
Small code customization is required for this, inside include/blueimp/server/php/upload.class.php

replace this:
$file_name = $this->upcount_name($file_name);

with this:
unlink($this->options['upload_dir'].$file_name);

Add date format description in documentation

Hi

please add date and time format description in the documentation Configuration -> Basic or as comment in the configuration.php

thanks

Add Link sharing feature

Would you please add link sharing feature?

Sometimes we need to share files with some one , who do not have account or their account have diffirent path so they can not access the file

Using Symlinks

We have just updated to the most recent version of FileGator on a Windows 2012 R2 server running Apache.

There was a documented workaround for getting a previous version of FileGator to navigate symLink directories. We would like to be able to do this again in the new version in order to support common user directories.

Thank you

Fix docs

Dev docs actually are:

cd filegator
cp configuration_sample.php configuration.php
sudo chmod -R 777 private/
sudo chmod -R 777 repository/
composer install
npm install
npm run build

cd filegator
cp configuration_sample.php configuration.php
sudo chmod -R 777 private/
sudo chmod -R 777 repository/
apt install composer
composer install

Permissions on folder manipulation

I want to allow my users to both write files (copy, move, rename, and delete) and upload files. But I want to forbid folder manipulation (i.e. create, copy, move, rename and delete folders).

Is this possible with Filegator?

Usage

Have installed FileGator - struggling with findinig documentation for configuration.

Essentially I'd like the home directory for browsing to point to /Files on my server - can't seem to find a way to do that?

Thanks

David

Documentation install - folder is not correct

Hi,
in the install steps in https://docs.filegator.io/install.html
it is wrote :

Make sure you webserver can read and write to /storage

but it seems to be /repository now

Thanks for your work on this file manager works well and is easy to install.

public_html as home folder

Hello,

I was using older versions of Filegator, where it was possible to set home folder out of filegator's own folder, and that was relatively easy to do, just by fiddling with configuration file. Unfortunately I can't see this option in current version of Filegator. I installed Filegator in public_html/filegator. Filegator's home folder is set for html_public/filegator/repository. Is it possible to set home folder as public_html?

Thanks and best regards!
