Relay: Ajax Directory Manager
Category: Showcase
Chris Iufer has updated and relaunched his Ajax Directory Manager which is now called Relay.
We are freely distributing the software open-source. So we hope it comes in handy to all those readers of yours who were begging to get their hands on a copy of it. The project is launching as a public Beta, and we hope that the community will really help us make this thing stellar. Were positioning it as a better way to manage your site files for things like blogs or personal homepages, and to transfer files between artists and their clients.
Features:
- drag-n-drop files and folders
- dynamic loading file structure
- upload progress bar
- thumbnail view, including pdf
- multiple users & accounts

another AJAX file manager: http://verens.com/demos/fckeditor/2.3/_samples/default.html - click the Image icon on the second row, then click Browse Server
This is nothing.. ;) Check out http://www.afian.com/demo/, it’s out there for almost two years now.
It features:
- browse multiple folders in tabs
- drag&drop (multiple items): from folder to subfolder, from folder to other tab, from folder to tree.
- contextual menu
- sort items with norefresh
- change view type (details, icons, thumbnails) - nofresh.
- cut/copy without refresh
- manage files and folders (browse/move/copy, etc..) while uploading big files, using the tab system
- any much more…
And people say norefresh and drag&drop is something new…
Congrats for the cool site (Ajaxian)!
Best,
Vlad Roman
Pretty Not much else. Would be nice if it worked. The upload doesnt work… the drag n drop doesnt work. I find clicking add to cart (link) much easier than dragging. why not remove the drag all togeather….

So I downloaded it and tried to get it working on our shared server. I setup a .htaccess file to allow cgi scripts with .pl extensions, changed the path in the upload.pl file. Everything works but uploading (the main part). When I try and run upload.pl?test it gives me an error. It seems it was built for windows servers, and converting to unix isn’t an easy task. If anyone gets it working let me know.
Nevermind, just had to change the line encodings to Unix.
if anyone wants to work with us to patch cPanel with this shoot me an email
Vlad and Marco, wheres your source code?
ugh this comment system still wants me to download a .php file…blah for commenting here again.
where in the world is the required config.ini.php and SQL dumpfile in the zip file? pretty much useless until we have those ;)
Bryan: could you please tell me how you managed to make it work (the upload) in unix/linux? already changed the line encoding in the.pl script and the path… i think i’m missing the right .htaccess statements… never used perl for web purposes :)
Alex: ??? try installing it :)
I’m getting the impression that this software sucks; there seems little PRACTICAL info on how to get this installed successfully on a server. I’m no web developer, just a user and I need a plain English guide.
Pity but like all things on the web, I bet there is something else out there.
As anyone got this working? I tried installing on a windows 2003 box with not luck. I have been looking for something like this for a while. :)
Thanks,
Aaron
another file manager alternative - http://kfm.verens.com/
I got this working in less than an hour.
The software is made by developers for developers, so if you don’t know how to tweak a bit of php, you’re out of luck.
In the end, it’s the best (free) software out there though, and it servers it purpose VERY well.
It is a great product but if you can not upload by drag and drop using a java applet is not good enough for me. Afian is a great product but not free.
Why don’t they add the option of uploading with an applet??
It would be an ftp killer…
Nice interesting Blog
Hi there,
Just wanted to say that this is an excellent application and for free, well what else could you ask for?
All works perfectly as advertised. I was just wondering though if there is any way of getting different users to only have access to certain folders?
I would love to be able to have say 10 folders and each one of those is only accessible to a certain user(s). Within each of those folders could be more folders but essentially they would just have the access to the main folder and not be able to go up from their main level.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I think this would pretty much cover everything then.
Regards,
Mark
