You can use it to access and modify the files and directories on your server via FTP or direct file access.
eXtplorer runs natively under Joomla! 1.0 - 3.1 and can also be used as a standalone app.
This file manager has great reviews and I was eager to use it. However, upon loading I noticed I lost several Joomla menus. This issue is commented on the providers website. The instructions for changing admin rights from SuperAdministrator to administrator were unclear and did not match the php file. Unfortunately I am still looking for a file editor. I am running joomla 1.6.3
error security, go to extplorer i can see all subfolders in htdocs folder, i have tried add htaccess for htdocs folder and in joomlaproject folder but after login again and go to extplorer it also access to htdocs folder automatically, this is very serius.
please fix.

This component is a life and time savor. For me it is a must on every Joomla installation. I understand why some people feel that it can give clients to much access but for me the rewards out weigh the risks by a ton.
Use it once and you never design a Joomla site with out it again!

I'm using it on all my Joomla installations during the last years. It's allways one of the first extensions being installed. Most of the tasks previously carried out by ftp-client can be done in a very comfortable way and it even works when normal ftp-access is blocked by a customer's firewall.
Only thing I'm missing is an alert when a new version is due.
Nevertheless: perfect extension! THX a lot!

Be careful of installing it with other admins that have access to it.
I am developing a website for a client, and installed Joomla in a subdirectory on my website for development, and they have access to my ENTIRE website/directory that also includes other client subfolders with access to sensitive files that have passwords and other confidential information.
The plugin should AT LEAST be limited to the directory its installed in, not the entire root directory.

This is definitely not a security issue within eXtplorer, but within your Server/PHP-Configuration. If eXtplorer can have access to other directories, all other PHP scripts can do this as well.

This extension has saved my proverbial buttocks like a thousand times, specially when FTP refuses to delete or update files, extplorer is the way.
Hi,
I've installed this extension in Joomla 1.6 on a Linux Ubuntu 11.04 Server and it installes and works like a charm man!
In combination with the Commandline Terminal and Webmin I feel comfortable administering my website from every location of the world.
You people make the world a better place to live.. ThanX!!!
Keep up the good work.

This plug in is a very useful tool. This plug in solves lots of issues like if the flash uploader is broken extplorer can do multiple file uploads. If for some reason the admin does not have ftp access to the Joomla installation this plug in provides root access to the joomla installation and lots more. For me this has become one of the first plugins to use after installing Joomla
great work!
I just installed at 1.5 and had no problems. It saved me.
