Browsurf is a PHP and AJAX file browser. Its inspiration originally came from OS X's Finder, however it has grown into so much more, defining itself as its own system. What makes browsurf unique is the ability view any directory available to the server it sits on. It is PHP driven and images that are not available on the web can still be viewed through browsurf. Its unique interface provides file and folder lists, file information such as size and modified date, an image thumbnail preview, as well as source code view for specified file types. It even has a built in editor, which can be turned on or off in the config file.
Browsurf is still very much in beta. Here's a list of items still on the ToDo list:
- Double-click to download files.
- Right-click context menu
- Cookies to help browsurf remain persistent (in case of a page refresh)
- Options accepted through $_GET on the main page.
- Easier customization
- 100% Width / 100% Height version
- Add files to new .zip collection for download
- PDF thumbnails
- Individual icons for each file type
- Still some bugs with editor
- Multiple Language support
- Slide Effect bug in Firefox 2 (Win)
- Custom pop-up window
- Image view in lightbox instead of new window
Sure. A demo is available by clicking here. The demo shows a list of files found here: http://files.solepixel.com/. Its accessible because browsurf is hosted by the creator of both, Brian DiChiara. It just shows that non-web accessible folders can be accessed through browsurf. I could view all the way back to root if I wanted to.
Unfortunately a download of browsurf is not available due to lack of some serious security tests. Please check back soon for updates. If you wish contribute to this project, please click here.
