Folder8 v4 by ANmar.Systems

Convert any FTP folder into a cloud Using Bootstrap, Font-Awesome, Fancybox v3, and Clasic ASP

About

  • Folder8 is a free classic asp tool used initially for my own personal purposes, then decided to share it here to be used for free.
  • Folder8 is an FTP folder browser to convert any folder you have in your Windows FTP server into a cloud, visible by anyone you share the link with.

Screenshots

Features (Free version)

  • Modern website layout, built with Twitter Bootstrap, Font-Awesome font icons, Fileicon.css and FancyBox v3 to give the look and feel of modern websites in all devices, no DB needed, no Setup, just copy, paste and browse.
  • One copy of Folder8 to browse several folders, see how to do that here.
  • Highly customizable through calling parameters.
  • Does not show sub-directories.

Features (Full version)

  • Control if viewers may rename, delete files.
  • Control if users may edit ASCII files (txt, php, etc).
  • Descide if viewers can see sub-folders or not.
  • Allow viewers to upload files, or not
  • Show images only, or all files
  • Decide what file extension will be hidden (check options below)
  • Counter to count views and clicks on each of the shared files
  • Expected to release by Aug 2017
In both versions, you may not remove links to Folder8, feel free to modify the code, but if you do, you need to show credits of Folder8 as owner.

Requirements

  • It uses classic ASP, means can only be used in Windows Server, other servers like Linux may use other tools written in php for example, I am sure there are a lot of them out there.
  • ASP.NET also needed to resize images inside the view, (you may ignore if you do not have images).
    This is the default setting in all new Windows Server IIS versions.
  • The full zip is 11 MB, but you may remove any icon set you dont need, or all
    Core files with bootstrap, Font-Awesome and other libs, without icon sets is 1.5 MB.

Installation 10 seconds installation

No need for any setup, just paste the content of the zip in any folder in your Windows FTP server, then browse to that folder from any web browser.
By default, Folder8 reads the content of the parent folder where 8 is placed.
Means when you put the folder 8 from the zipped folder in an FTP folder, named MyFolder, all files in MyFolder will be shared.

So, you can copy and paste the folder "8" into as many folders as you want to share the content of these folders.

or

You can have one copy and use it with parameter f as many times as you wish to tell it what folder to share (The path to that folder has to be given in a 'related-path' style)
