Setup

SETUP

If you installed the script correctly it must run. In order to reach the Setup link you must login. There is no user defined thus you do not need to type user name and password. Just hit Submit button. Click on Setup link on the upper right corner. There is no separate login for the setup screen because only one user has access to it.

The first thing we suggest you do is to register a user, because since there is no user defined in the config file anyone can log into the program as priority user and have full access on your files.

To save changes you must hit on Submit button. To exit and loose changes hit Back or Exit Setup buttons.

DEFAULT DIRECTORY

This is such a directory that becomes `root` for Noname - Nopassword user. It has no sense if you have already defined the admin user. There a hardcoded variable in the script called $DEFAULTDIRECTORY. It can alternatively define the default directory. For example $DEFAULTDIRECTORY = '/home/sitedata/';
if this has variable a value it supersedes the corresponding value on the setup screen.

USER LIST and ADD USER

Here you can list all registered users, select one or more user to edit or delete. If no user is registered you will be prompted to register the priority user -- Administrator. A user can be selected either using a checkbox against of the user name or by clicking on user name. Users can be edited one by one, but you can delete any number of users at once.
NOTE: you can not delete Administrator until regular users exist.

The following tasks and options can be enabled/disabled or assigned to a user:

Start Directory - this is 'home' or root directory which will be current each time the user logs in.
Show full path - if selected the user will be able to access any directory on the system. If not selected - the user will not be able to go outside of the root. The user will see only relative path starting at the root.
Enable SHELL - If selected, the user will see 'SHELL' link on the main screen. Clicking on this link the user will be prompted to execute system command.
NOTE: It’s not recommended to enable SHELL to a user if full path is not enabled.
Enable New File, Edit, Download, Upload, CHMOD, Rename, Copy & Paste, Make Directory, Delete Files, Compress files - these enable or disable the corresponding buttons on the main screen

FILE TYPES

Here you can give a name to any file extension that will appear beside file name. For example, if you say:
wav = Multimedia, then all files with the extension .wav will be described as Multimedia in the Type column. Each record
extension = name placed one per line.

MIME TYPES

These data are needed to treat each file type appropriately when a file is being downloaded, uploaded or 'activated'. A file is activated when you click on its name. An image will be displayed in new browser as image, plain text file will be displayed as text file, multimedia file will launch a multimedia player (on your local computer), HTML file will be shown as an HTML page. If MIME type does not exists for a given file, its type will be detected automatically. Binary file will initiate download process, text file will be shown in a separate browser window as text

COLUMNS

Here you can select, which Attribute (column) will be shown for directories and files, and give each attribute desired name. The following columns can be enabled/disabled:

dev - device code
ino - inode number
mode - type and access flag
nlink - number of hard links
uid - user of of owner
gid - group id of owner
rdev - device type
size - size in bytes
atime - time of last access
mtime - time of last modification
ctime - time of last status change
blksize - file system block size
blocks - size, in blocks

Not all these attributes are meaningful on all operating system, but most of them occupy enough space on the main screen. You must select which ones are useful for you and your users and give them understandable name (or use the default names)
