This component is very slick and easy to use. It is very "self explanatory". Installation was a breeze. No behind the scenes modifications were needed to make it work. It is very useful as it allows you to modify files outside of the joomla install realm as well. I highly recommend it.
I agree with the majority of posts already here. This component solves the infamous “CANT DELETE FILE OR FOLDER FROM THE FTP BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT THE OWNER” bug. Although slated to be fixed in future version of Joomla this component allows you to delete those files.
It also provides you a little status bar telling you the amount of space on the hard drive your site resides on. I thought that was neat. The interface is great. The only thing I can suggest is that he place words underneath the icons so it is that much clearer which each button function is. Other than that, a solid piece of work.
After you install Joomla this should be the next item on your list.

I downloaded the plugin, logged into my admin panel, clicked on "installers" then "components" and get a message that says,
ERROR: Could not find an XML setup file in the package.
then there is second error that says,
/home/howtobui/public_html/chuckevansgolf/Joomla/media/install_442df521d5639/
anyone got any ideas?
thanks,
chuck

Install easy, has an intuitive interface, gives full access to files and folders on site. One problem I had was not having full ftp access to my site, permissions wise. My host could either set joomla/www or ftp as admin access. Now I get full access to files and folders through joomla admin. Well done.
I wonder how we survived before cell phones?
That is what I am asking before Joomlaxplorer ... it is NOT a must have ... it is a ... "how can we exist without it"? Excellent tool ... it has saved me many a headache ... on many a day!

I found this as very versatile component for a joomla site. Easy to install and use. It opens the whole directy with files for you to manipulate.
Nice Job, Keep it up.

How have I lived without joomlaXplorer? How did I not hear of this? Well, perhaps because we didn't have this NIFTY Extensions Directory!
Very, very nice Sören. THANKS!

joomlaXplorer is an extremely handy tool if you don't have access to ftp or a file manager like cpanel. Once I accidentally deleted a template file but couldn't remove the directory because it was assigned to "nobody".
I couldn't remove the folder via ftp or cpanel file manager, but joomlaxplorer came to the rescue and was able to delete it anyways.
My only criticism is regarding the interface. The icons for managing files and directories are without any text unless you roll your mouse over the actual link. You have to guess a bit until you learn which icons do what.
An option to show or hide text/icons would be very handy. None the less, this small complaint does not outweigh the handiness of this extension's great built-in browser. 4 out of 5 stars.
