Button bar
Create new Folder
Use this function to create a new subfolder in the current folder.
Upload files
You can upload files to the current folder using this function. Each file slot
on the upload page can contain one file you can browse for on your local
machine. Click the "Upload" button to start the upload. This may take
several minutes, so be patient. The upload is complete when the main listing
will be displayed again, now containing the uploaded files.
Download files
Regular downloads can be performed by clicking the file you want to download.
Some file types are displayed in the browser instead of being downloaded (e.g.
TXT, HTML, GIF). If you want all files to be downloaded you can check the
"Download instead of view" option on the configuration page.
When the optional Zip component is installed, clicking this button will pack all
selected files and folders to one Zip file with the same name as the containing
folder, and send the file to your browser. When you have downloaded the file you
can use your favorite Zip program to unzip it like you normally would.
Copy items
This will copy selected files and folders to the FileMan clipboard. To paste the
selected items you have to navigate to the target folder and click the
"Paste" button (only available if data is on the clipboard). Behavior
is similar to Windows Explorer. If the target already exists, FileMan will add
the string "Copy(n) of " to the file name (where n<99). That way
you never have to be afraid you will overwrite an existing file, unless you
delete it yourself first.
Cut items
Similar to the copy function, but this will cut the items instead of copying
them.
Paste items
This button is only available if you previously copied or cut items. It will
paste the items from the FileMan clipboard to the current folder. The icon
description indicates how many items are on the clipboard to paste.
Rename item(s)
You can also search and replace strings in file names using the following
syntax: /r:(Find this,Replace with this). Note that there is no space after the
comma, unless you want it to be part of the replaced name.
Delete items
This will delete selected files and folders. If the current user has the Recycle
Bin enabled, the items will be moved there first. To delete items permanently
you need to go to the Recycle Bin and remove files there.
Zip selected items
This function adds all selected files and folders to a ZIP file in the current
folder.
Unzip selected zip files
This will unpack all selected ZIP files to the current folder. Selected folders
and file types other than ZIP will be ignored.
Recycle Bin
Deleted files and folders will be moved to the Recycle Bin. To delete
items permanently you need to go to the Recycle bin and remove files there. The
current Recycle bin size is displayed in the button description.
Configure FileMan
You can use this page to configure the appearance and behavior of FileMan. For
example: change view settings, enable Recycle Bin, Show full dates, Beautify
file names, Calculate folder sizes (slow for big folders/drives), Download
instead of view. On this page you can also set what file properties you want to
see in the listing: Name, Type, Size, Attribs, Modified, Created, Accessed and
Short name. Note some functions may not be available, depending on the users
configuration defined by the admin.
Logout current user
This will log off the current FileMan user and return to the login page. You
will be prompted to close the browser window which is recommended to avoid
interception of your logon and files.
Go to home page
Contains a link to the home page. Default is the SCC Faculty and Staff File
Server homepage.
