fileNice - free php file browser

fileNice is a free php file browser, particularly useful if you have a ‘dump’ folder on your server where you regularly upload files and you want to be able to see what’s there.

See it in action here.

Features:
Folder specific slideshows of images (without page reloads).
File details
Send to Flickr
Folder comments
Search
Prefs based sorting
Source viewing of code

Installation:
Download the latest release from BitBucket, unpack and upload the folder contents into the directory on your server that you want to be able to browse.

Upgrading:
If you are upgrading from a pre 1.0 version there has been significant changes to the markup and CSS and consequently any skinning you’ve done will not work in fileNice 1.0. Future releases will be compatible and future stylesheets will have changes marked in them for easy updating of your skins.

Skinning:
Not documented yet but it’s pretty easy. There’s one css file and one php css file which generates the icon list (if you want custom icons for certain filetypes).

Tech stuff:
It’s written in php and javascript and was designed to be as concise and self-contained as possible. There’s no frameworks and no databases.
