Hi.
I am trying to find "something" (php prefered) that I can stick onto a Centos apache server that would allow me to browse a selected file system by employees through a web-browser "explorer like" interface.
I know I can do this through WinSCP (and have done so), but my problem is I have Linux, Windows and MAC clients and my knowledge of MAC's is rather limited.
I can limit access to the (php) files to (ranges of) IP addresses, so security is reasonable ok and doing this through a web interface saves me time, too, as I only have to do this once, and security fixes is easy, too.
Is there anything that would imitate a tree view like interface to browse a file system?

If you don't have access to Apache configuration, you can try to create .htaccess with the following content:
Options +Indexes

Webdav! Then you can mount the webdav "share" in windows/linux/mac(?) as a drive.

Here is a file manager that I started writing in PHP some years ago, but never finished: http://dotancohen.com/downloads/TerribleFile_0.7.php.txt
The code is probably a mess, the whole idea was to learn PHP at the time and I've never gone back to clean it up. It's pretty usable, though.

Look for something called fugu for the Mac.

Others have suggested enabling indexes in apache which will work if all you have to do is read and apache has file system permissions. I haven't used it for a while, but I thought webmin had a decent file manager component and you might find some of the other modules useful too.

<snip> So, you just need it for the Macs? For Linux, konqueror comes with every distro.

Gnome/nautlius works over ssh too. Or install fuse-sshfs from epel and mount it so anything can use it.
Hi
Using apache (either webdav or index) destroys the file permissions, on top of that I have to add the user that runs apache (nobody) to the group permissions having access to the file system.
Most of my file systems do not have global access, only owner/group ... especially when it comes to data files ...
WINSCP uses ssh, and ssh (when logged in) uses the file permissions that are used within the system. This is one of the prime reasons using WINSCP.
The only way I can achieve keeping the permissions alive using either WINSCP (or derivatives) or a UI (php based) that interacts with the filessystem sthrough php based functions (imap,ftp,ssh).
I found a few .. and there are some really good ones ... after I put the correct search terms in (thanks for that hint).
