What if I don't want all who have admin rights to access files on a server? Like I could allow other admin privileges, this one also should have restrictions per admin.

Well as i said in the thread this is uncomplete, the final version will have a lot of options where you can choose userid or ip of who can view vbfinder or let just superadmins use it

As i said above i will add more options in next releases (this a beta)

Installed.
Looks great,
but how to upload and or download files?
Where to find the local (My Computer) files to handle?
NVS

[Scanu]

Download -> right click in a file and click on download
Upload -> there is abutton to upload files or you can directly drag&drop files from your computer (if your browser supports html 5)

What a great idea. This could prove quite useful when all permission options are added.
Nice job.

Same here : this looks good but I could not use it before it gets more permissions / security options.
