@super-poussin: I tried your suggestion of phpATM, and got it running (more or less). I installed it into its own "phpATM" share.
I think I'm missing one fundamental point: how did you configure it to offer your files for download? Say I wanted to make the whole contents of my "media" share available via phpATM. Would you install phpATM into the root of the "media" share? Or do something with symbolic links to make the "media" files available?
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
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...
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.
All is working fine but I need something more. I need to copy huge amounts of data from an external drive connected via USB to the NAS itself. The problem is that through the web interface you cannot copy from the USB root to the NAS' root. How can I do that? The obvious reason for all that is to have the copy process run on the NAS.
