It allows to upload, download, -rename, delete files and organize directory / folder structure using a -standard web browser with CGI. - -This program is written using portable C code and compiles natively -for many flavors of Unix. The output is a pure W3C certified HTML 4.01 -and doesn't require JavaScript support in the browser. WFM will work in -most HTTP 1.1 web servers with CGI support. Due to compact size and -lightning fast execution time it's ideal for small and embedded systems. - - -History -======= -The application begun its life in 1994 as a perl cgi script for CERN httpd -server to allow uploading data files by field support engineers. Later -rewritten in C language, when CGIC library and Apache httpd were released -around 1996. Up to 2015 WFM has been a closed source commercial application, -supported by a few large enterprise and smaller corporation users. WFM is -now released as open source. - - -Installation -============ -WFM binary is self contained including all icons/images. You only need -to copy the compiled wfm binary (with any name) to your cgi execution -directory. Include a config file of the same name as the binary file plus -.cfg extension. Example: - -/home/user/web/cgi-bin - wfm - wfm.cfg - -Edit the .cfg file according to your needs. - -Point your browser to http://x.x.x.x/cgi-bin/wfm and you are done. - -Configuration -============= -This application was designed with multiple instances in mind. An instance -is made by copying or linking WFM binary with a different name. In advanced -configuration different instances can suexec to different users. - -In a more basic form each instance reads it's configuration file of -instance name + .cfg extenstion from the current working directory. -For instance if you decide to use "ftpadmin" as name of the executable -(or link) it will read file named "ftpadmin.cfg" for the configuration. -Below is a simple, self explanatory configuration file example: - -# tagline or application name -tagline=Web File Manager - -# home directory -directory=/home/user/wfmdata - -# recursively summarize directory sizes - only enable if you have -# fast disk (SSD) or a small directory tree structure -#recursive-du=true - -# favicon / application icon, must be one of the embedded/compiled icon files -# by default wfmicon.gif -#favicon=home.gif - -# When clicking on txt file - edit instead of download by default -#txt-default-edit=true - -# Edit any file as it was txt -edit-any-file=false - -# optional browser url prefix - aka "external link" - if defined, file -# names will be glued to it giving option to be opened directly with the -# external link button without going through cgi routines -browser-url=http://x.x.x.x/files/ - -# access lists - ace type is either access-ip or access-user -# mixable, eg access-ip=ro:* with number of access-user=rw -# level is ro|rw, one host or username per line * denotes all hosts -# user is username:password combination -access-ip=ro:* -access-ip=rw:127.0.0.1 -access-user=ro:guest:secret -access-user=rw:admin:password - -If you use mixed ro/rw access for instance ip=ro:* and user=rw:admin -then in order to authenticate click on the lock sign on right side of -the top status bar. - -Copyrights -========== -Copyright (c) 1994-2016 by Antoni Sawicki -Copyright (c) 1996-2011 by Thomas Boutell and Boutell.Com, Inc. -Copyright (c) 2002 by Aladdin Enterprises -Copyright (c) 1999-2009 by Paul Johnston -Copyright (c) 2010 by Yusuke Kamiyamane -WFM implemented by Antoni Sawicki -CGIC Library by Thomas Boutell -Server Side RFC 1321 implementation by L.
