File Manager inside Readynas

phpatm is not easy to configure :) needs a lot of cutomization in php.ini and config files working on another product which sounds good stay tuned (in ajax)

I thought I smelled a slight hint of sarcasm in that first response.

Thanks and I'm looking forward to see how the ajax solution works.

I never managed to configure phpATM how I wanted it, but instead I found AjaXplorer, and I think it will work great for me.

It has tons of features, is ultra-easy to configure, and is oozing gobs of cute slick ajax-y goodness!
It runs fast and responsive on the ReadyNAS, and can easily be set up to share a folder anywhere on the NAS (or more than one, even.)

What do I need to do to get the ReadyNAS ready to run this? I have no idea :0

Thanks

i will take a look :)

http://ajaxbrowser.free.fr/Ajax-B_Pub/en/index.php is the second one

ajaxbrowser and AjaXplorer seem very similar; probably either one would work. (I think ajax is ideal since most of the fancy processing is done on the client-side, taking load off the NAS.)

@looter:
The only major requirement for AjaXplorer is PHP.

I basically followed the ReadyNAS PHP HowTo, then followed that up with the personal webserver HowTo. I set up a dedicated share for AjaXplorer (you can call it "ajaxplorer" or "mycoolfiles" or whatever you want).

Then you replace the test index.html (from the personal webserver howto) with the entire contents extracted from the AjaXplorer zip file. Then you have to adjust permissions on the files until apache is able to read the files (log in via SH and use the chmod command, or maybe you can do it through an FTP client).

Read the file /files/INSTALL-SelectMeAndClickEdit.txt that comes with AjaXplorer, and it will help you with basic configuration.

Search the forum for more hints if necessary, or post again here.

The only thing I'm still worried about is: how good is the authentication/login thingy and how to make it very secure before opening my firewall. I need to read up some more on that...

take a look here for an how-to :)

user rights and password are stored in files on the web server by default and password din encrypted

All this PHP and Ajax sure sounds interesting :roll:
- but -
I really don't want to wander around in php.ini files or even enable SSH access.

So I repeat the request:
- File Manager inside ReadyNas - Please....

As an option:
- Make an add-in to enable/handle PHP?

Im surprised why this still hasnt been made.
Netgear! Once you opened up for user addons you really said: "Okay, people dont just use it as a NAS", but given the awaiting ReadyNAS Pro you already know this.

yup, so why dont you make an addon yourself or request one from super-poussin? they made the sdk exactly because they dont have time to incorporate every too available into the nas themselves.

If you're willing to use SSH, Midnight Commander is great. File manager, editor, control file owners, groups, permissions. Fast.

# apt-get update
# apt-get install mc

That's it. Start by entering

mc
