Creation is inspired by simplicity and convenience of Finder program used in Mac OS X operating system.

While this mod makes things easy I would strongly urge people to consider not using it. This makes it very easy for someone who has access to your Admin CP to make files edits to your server- even if they otherwise have no other skills.
Yes, a skilled hacker can get similar access by creating custom plugins but this is like a red carpet.
If anyone has this installed please please please be sure you are using an Admin CP .htaccess password that will help keep people without permission out of your admincp and therefore, files.

Updated now it has administrator permissions per admin, set by default to 0
hey there, thank you very much for the update.
i just imported the new xml. but even with the permission set to no. i can access.
should i delete everything and make a fresh install or did i just miss something?
greetings
You have to upload again files using your ftp or using vBFiner, whatever you prefer
The changed file is admincp/vbfinder.php if you don't want to upload again all the folders

I second that. AT first glance it reminded me to the Greek Hacking Group which used an exploit in vb to get into the admincp. They installed and used a very similiar file-system for acessing the server files from within the admincp last (?) year. They?d hidden that under the "?", where you normally can see hints and explanations. Don?t like the idea, but for others it may be useful.
