Hello,
I have a small server at home hosting all my files and I am looking for a simple setup to be able to access these files from pretty much every where.
Usually I'm using ssh or sftp but the thought of being able to access the files through a web interface is really sounding good. So, I have been searching for a web based file manager and found a few, but none that really made me go wow.
The best so far is probably Ajaxplorer. One thing that I'm looking for though is a PAM authentication feature which Ajaxplorer doesn't have. Are there any web based file managers around that supports this?
Or... maybe I'm looking for the wrong things. Are there other nifty solutions available for accessing files on a remote folder through a web interface?

If you're already accessing the server using SSH, why not just mount it using SSHFS? You can then access the server like it's a local directory and use any filemanager you want.

I immediately thought of sshfs too.

Perhaps he wishes to access it from a non-Unix workstation? Dunno what the status of cygwin's SSH is....

samba for windows
mac os... never deal with it, but it was based on BSD, maybe also sshfs
P.S. nfs is faster than sshfs

I'm using sshfs on my laptop to access my files too but what I'm looking for is a tool to be able to reach the files from pretty much any pc and also maybe share some directories with friends.
Simplicity for the end user is very important in this perspective with no install of software being necessary etc.
A web interface is really what I'm looking for I think. That way even my parents would be able to log in and look at photos etc.

If PAM authentication is all you're missing, why don't you setup http_auth?
THX for the suggestion, I was looking for something like this myself and the next version should have LDAP_auth - alrighty then!

http_auth... do you have any nice links on how to use it? I've never heard of it
Ajaxplorer is quite nice after all and setting up repositories isn't all that bad. Looks like I'm sticking to it while I continue my search for another app.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html
It's as simple as setting up a .htpasswd-file in the directory, or setting up a config in f.e. /etc/apache2/conf.d/ajaxplorer
