ashrobbins87 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Is it possible for a logged in user to click a button and open a Windows Explorer window, so that they can manage the files that have been uploaded?

Mark Baker Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Basic answer is No, not unless the user has a shared drive with the web server. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/151045-open-explorer-window/#findComment-793518 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Baker Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Perhaps a javascript soulution will work:If javascript can now run applications on my laptop, it's time for me to disable javascript. There's plenty of tools out there, javascript and PHP based, for file maintenance on the server.... many of them are even styled with the look and feel of Windows Explorer. A search on HotScripts or other similar sites will list hundreds. However, opening a Windows Explorer window that can access the web server directories is not a practical solution Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/151045-open-explorer-window/#findComment-793525 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a long search and can't find anything that suits my needs. I just need to be able to view the contents of a folder on the web server, and to delete files that are no longer needed.
