  • tinyfilemanager

    Single-file PHP file manager, browser and manage your files efficiently and easily with tinyfilemanager

  • Project mention: Searching for a simple flat-file CMS. | /r/webdev | 2023-09-21

    As of now I've solved it by using Tiny File Manager and a simple slider JS-script (bx-slider) together with some php to get the images and it works OK. But it doesn't look as clean as I want it to, the client needs to rename the files to change the order of the images in the sliders loop (since the slider is loading the files in alphabetical order). Also Tiny File Manager gets stuck in Imunify360 (and probably in similar security tools as well) and I need to white list it for every installation/client that needs it which is not ideal.

  • xplorer

    Xplorer, a customizable, modern file manager

  • xplr

  • Project mention: Superfile – A fancy, petty terminal file manager | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-10

  • vifm

    Vifm is a file manager with curses interface, which provides Vim-like environment for managing objects within file systems, extended with some useful ideas from mutt.

  • Project mention: Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-06

    Some alternatives:

    * `vifm` file manager, more powerful and performant than ranger, for those who lean towards vim keybindings: https://vifm.info/

    * `btop` process monitor, for those who like eye candy: https://github.com/aristocratos/btop
