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.
I've problem installing this on Joomla 1.5.6, but after upgrade to 1.5.8 I'm able to do full installation! Brilliant components with nice interface. :)
I hope there is some sort of supports from the developer or at least a clear instruction on installation process in Readme.txt.

I was able to install this component in about 2 minutes. It works right out of the box, it's free, and it's wonderful. Open source rocks!
I have only just discovered eXtplorer having worked on many Joomla sites and am kicking myself for not installing this on every site sooner. One of the most useful components I have yet found and the first one that has moved me to write a review.
Can't say more than thumbs up for this last 2.0.1 version. Only lacks the ability to CHMOD differently folders and files.
I am also now using the standalone script (link removed) and it is indeed the solution we were all waiting for when hosts do not have a Filemanager.

The old eXplorer was my most used admin component. The new one just will not work. No matter how many times I change the chmod of the fetchjscripts file as instructed, it continues to pop up the message, that it can't find the scripts. I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times with no success. This is very disappointing.
This component is *very* good. I was expecting something quite basic but it looks fantastic and has a very smooth interface. I was definitely impressed when i tried to edit a css file on the server and got served with a text editor with syntax highlighting...
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.
This is an essential piece of kit! I find it especially useful when providing support to my customers as I only need to ask for access to Joomla administrator, and generally don't need to ask for additional FTP access. It also proves extremely useful when the server does not use suPHP, so the files are owned by 'nobody'. The interface is clean and professional, and very intuitive. Also very handy for extracting zip files in situ, thus saving time when uploading a large number of files.
Great extension. A must for a site manager.
This is a very good component with very clean functionality and features. Highly recommended for a hassle free file and ftp management through the Joomla admin console.
Very handy for chmod those nasty 99 permission files and folders and also deleting them if need be.
Thanks 10/10

One of my biggest hassles is being able to easily work on my sites from my office, home office or laptop. It's been a pain to always download redundant copies of files, edit then FTP. This extension provides a decent online editor so I can have a good "distributed" authoring environment. What an AMAZING contribution.
This makes life so much easier, changing any files from within Joomla itself rather than having to set up FTP access/software. So good, it's part of my base install for all Joomla projects.
