web file viewer for apache based web server?

zerobane · 02-19-2009, 10:00 AM

Any suggestions?

Have a fedora 9 running apache / httpd-2.2.9-1.fc9.i386

Just want a simple server interface to be able to browse/download/wget files from a web page portal, without running IE or a firefox plugin...

probably configuring ftp access would be your best option, that way you can use any ftp program to download, upload etc.. your files assuming you have priveleges to do so

If your Apache setup is set to allow directory listings in general (or only for certain virtual hosts or directory), then you actually have the problem solved without having to using any scripted interface. Make sure that the directory has NO index.htm, index.html, index.php and similar default startup files to allows for these listings.

Directory Listings are usually not allowed by default, because they give away some amount of information on what's stored on your server. Often not what webmasters want, as it makes the hierarchy of scriptfiles and datafiles obvious.

you may want to look at WebDAV. Apache can be built with mod_dav. With WebDAV, you can do web publishing, file sharing(upload/download) and even versioning can be intergrated.

You might want to check out a PHP based app called Simple Directory Listing. Never used it, but looks alright

thanks for ideas!

Looks like webdav worked the best. I tried a couple of PHP solutions, most where to gui'y, buggy and featured filled for my taste.

Ironically my apache install already had this mod loaded, so a couple of logical directory links from the /var/www/html/ directory to the windows cifs shares and i was good to go.

Just an internal company intranet page on a windows AD domain, so security is not much of a concern.

Thanks for the help!

Glad to have helped :-)
I know of some enterprises who use WebDAV with IIS on Win 2003 Server. I think Webdav is a cool application.
