Manage your websites and files!!
Once you are logged in, you will be able to:
* Navigate your FTP server
* Upload and download files
* Copy - move between two 2nd FTP servers
* Copy, move, delete, CHMOD files and directories
* Rename and chmod files and directories
* Edit text files, and view them with syntax highlighting
* Navigate the FTP server. Once you have logged in, you can browse from directory to directory and see all the subdirectories and files.
* Upload files. The files are copied from your computer to the FTP server.
* Download files. Click on a filename in the list of files, and a window will pop up to ask you where you want to save it on your computer.
* Upload-and-unzip. This feature is great to upload many files at once (for example if you want to install an application on your web server). This is how it works: specify a Zip file on your computer; the Zip file is transferred to the web server where it is unzipped; the files it contains are transferred to the FTP server.
* Zip-and-download. This is the opposite from the upload-and-unzip. Select directories or files you want to download, they are transferred to the web server where they are zipped into one Zip file that you save on your computer.
* Copy, move and delete directories and files. Directories are handled recursively, meaning that their content (subdirectories and files) will also be copied, moved or deleted.
* Copy or move directories and files directly to a second FTP server.
* Rename and chmod directories and files.
* View code with syntax highlighting.
* Edit text right from your browser. Every time you save the changes the new file is transferred to the FTP server.
* Edit text right from your browser in an HTML form.
* Send files via email. Select directories or files, click on Email, and a Zip file is prepared to sent in attachment to an address of your choice.
* All this... FREE

Why phpWebFTP?
phpWebFTP offers a way of connecting to you FTP server, even when you are behind a firewall or proxy not allowing traffic to FTP servers. This is very common in business networks.
phpWebFTP overcomes this issue by making a FTP connection from your webserver to the FTP server of you liking and transfering the files from this web server to your webclient over the standard http protocol.
I developed phpWebFTP to overcome this issue myself and descided to share the application with others. The source is available under GNU license. Which basically means you can use the program and modify the code, as long as you keep mentioning my name ;-)
In order to use phpWebFTP on you webserver, you should have a webserver with PHP and FTP enabled. No other installation or configuration should be nescecarry.
