Introduction

Core Enhancements, Downloads, File Management

ProFiles is the next generation web file manager.
From the creators of Proforms and Mad4Joomla.


ProFiles maps the look and feel of a desktop file explorer to the web. The usage of this web file explorer is almost the same as you know it from your favorite operating system.

Even system-related characteristics such as short keys for element selection are taken into account per operating system. If you run ProFiles in a Windows™ environment you can use the Windows™ short keys which in turn differ on an OSX™ environment.

The Joomla™ version of ProFiles additionally supports Joomla’s ™ rights management.
ProFiles is used at the backend of Joomla™.
ProFiles allows you to create multiple 'root folders'. Based on user groups you can apply different rights to the user groups for each root folder. Thereby you can exactly determine which user group may view, read or write to a certain root folder.

One of the most convenient functions of this web file manager is the support of drag and drop uploads for modern browser. Just mark your files on your desktop and drag them to the folder listing of ProFiles. Each file will be uploaded with a progress bar.

All USP’s at a glance:

★ Supports all standard file actions which are given by PHP (Your server must allow this)
★ Easy drag’n drop upload for modern browsers.
★ Select / deselect files /folders with the operating system’s shortcuts.
★ Edit / read text based files directly in ProFiles (Source Code, XML, TXT …)
★ Listen to mp3’s, midi files or see FLV videos.
★ View images in preview mode and / or open them with ProFiles.
★ ZIP / UNZIP files and folders.
★ Upload ZIP files and directly unzip the content to the folder. (Only for normal uploads)
★ Search and sort folder or file listings.
★ Apply multiple root folders.
★ Apply rights to the root folders per user group.
★ Has a built-in diagnosis mode which tells you if ProFile’s functions are supported by your server.
★ Unique user experience by an excellent UI.

Supported browsers:

IE 9+, FF19+, Chrome 24+, Safari 5+ and Opera 12+
Please note that these browser versions are tested on support of the HTML 5 functions.
Older browsers may also be (partially) supported.

Supported languages:

English and German.
Translations are welcome.

I used this to: My website. It is better than the extplorer which has some bugs.
Functionality
It has become one of the plugins that i add to all my sites since it makes it easy to access and change files in site without leaving Joomla
Ease of use
Very easy, intuitive. All you need to remember is to double click a file name to edit it. SIMPLE. EASY. Reliable. What more can one ask for?
Support
Fantastic because it's not needed!
Documentation
Duh simple, didn't read it, it was just so obvious what to do. Well done.
I used this to: CSS changes, viewing what code is in a file, etc. adding and tweaking.
Functionality
Very Easy to use, clean navigation and folder structure. Takes seconds to make any change.
Ease of use
You simply install it and start using it. Works great with most browsers.
Documentation
The component is pretty easy to use but it comes with basic help assistance.
I used this to: Making CSS changes without having to use FTP
Functionality
Works largely as advertised. Does all sorts of magic file management within the directory structure of your Joomla install.
Ease of use
Blindly easy to use. Works largely like Explorer. Most users should be right at home with this one.
Documentation
I used this to: Most of my file management needs. Works better than most of the other utilities for most of what I've needed. If the drag and drop worked...I'd use nothing else. (SERIOUSLY)

Perfect!

This component is really amazing, but I would love for my register users to be able to access my sharing documents in the front end, I was wondering if is possible to do it with current version?
I loaded this and had it working with a few seconds.

Seamless installation and intuitive and simple UI.

Thank you, I can highly recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable FTP component.
