This extension is for me one of the must-haves in any installation.
Excellent product, thanks for keeping it available for free.

Its just great component, especially in the new version 2.1.0.
Net2FTP or some ftp clients sometimes fails. Joomla eXtplorer - never!. For example, today I made the file called "-copy.htaccess" (mistake) and few FTP Clients failed to delete it from server. Explorer just deteted the file after one click. Tkank you for great component and keep going!

I cannot express how much I would like to thank the developer(s) of this component! I am a web designer/developer using Joomla! for over 2 years now. I have run into a few problems installing modules before I have correctly set up ftp details in Joomla! admin and the owner of these modules becomes 'www-data'. I have found it near impossible to delete these files using standard ftp. All I can say is that anyone having trouble altering or deleting 'www-data' files look no further. This component allows you to access files (and ftp) through the Joomla! admin. Problem solved. Thank you!
This extension is brilliant. We had an installation on a Microsoft IIS server with no real access to the permissions and flaky FTP. Now we are back in control.
Top Banana!

Seriously, I was ready to throw my computer out the window when I ran across this component. After swapping a clients site over to their server in order to go live I was having many issues with CHMOD 777 files. I found XWD's comment after googling the issue, installed Joomla!Xplorer, and BAM I could change the permissions right from JoomlaXplorer and go back in and edit files with no problem again! You have no idea how happy I am right now!! Thank you!!!!
Great component! you will never need to use your FTP cliente again.
This component saved my day a lot of times! You can manage well ALL the files of your Joomla website. You see the files,can edit them strait away or you can overwrite them uploading the same file with the changes or add a new file! I have 3 websites and every one has this wonderful component.The only pity is that it is not native for J 1.5
This component is great and gives you quick access to the files.
I recently installed this on a client's Joomla! 1.5 site after running into a bug in the media manager (the 1.5 version of this com is just named eXplorer) and I have to say I'm impressed. Most commercial products aren't this good. I no longer need an FTP application - at all. This gives me access to everything.
Not recommended for client admins who are too nosy or inexperienced.

Great component!
I used Auchi's fix to fix the admin menu problem
Comment out line 83 in file administrator/components/com_joomlaxplorer/admin.joomlaxplorer.php
I used saurabhg10's fix to change the root file to the Joomla site root file instead of the hosting account root file.
Modify the following lines in the file {site root directory}/administrator/components/com_joomlaxplorer/.config/conf.php
else {
$GLOBALS["home_dir"] = $dir_above;
// the url corresponding with the home directory: (no trailing ‘/’)
$GLOBALS["home_url"] = substr( $mosConfig_live_site, 0, strrpos($mosConfig_live_site, ‘/’));
}
to the following…
else {
$GLOBALS["home_dir"] = $mosConfig_absolute_path;
// the url corresponding with the home directory: (no trailing ‘/’)
$GLOBALS["home_url"] = $mosConfig_live_site;
}
I use the component in the aadmin back-end and with these two simple fixes it works great for me! It is so nice to be able to edit site files from within Joomla without having to login to the site's control panel. A great time saver!
