Browse your folders in a clean, familiar table view with size, permissions and modified-date columns.
Open text files in the built-in editor and save changes in place with Ctrl/Cmd+S.
Upload multiple files at once, download anything, create, rename, copy, move or delete files and folders, change permissions (chmod), and zip or extract archives — all from one screen.
Root Explorer was built security-first. It runs only in the administrator and is locked to Super Users. Every action is protected by a CSRF token, and all browsing is jailed to a configurable root folder — by default your Joomla installation. Directory traversal, absolute paths, symlink escapes and zip-slip attacks are all blocked. The extension makes no external calls: no telemetry, no license phone-home, nothing leaves your server. Whether you're editing a template file, dropping in an image, unpacking an archive or fixing a stubborn permission, Root Explorer gives you a fast, safe way to do it — from anywhere you can reach your admin panel.
