ew FileManager

Duster

This module was designed to manage files and directories inside a directory given permissions by the site admin.

This is an FTP-like module. You can create directories, upload, edit and delete files through the module interface.

If you have co-admins or sub-admins on your site but do not want to share your FTP account with them, this module could be the solution for you. It can be especially useful if you use the Subjects module on your site as EW FileManager can bring additional functionality to it.

The module must be configured before it will function. Go to Administration --> ew_filemanager -> Module Configuration
