Web Based UNIX File Management System

We have developed a web based UNIX file management system to facilitate different background users to use UNIX system. It is a cross-platform UNIX file management system that can be used from any web browser to execute file management operations on a UNIX server. Any user with a valid account on a UNIX server will be able to login to the server and create, delete, edit, download and upload files and folders to the server with the help of a very user friendly GUI without having to worry about remembering the UNIX commands. Our UNIX file management system enables the user to easily navigate to different locations on the server with the ease of a mouse click while all the UNIX commands are executed in the back end. Also our system allows user to manipulate files on UNIX system. Our system also has a profile management features which allow users to save profiles on their local machine in order to switch to the desired servers with ease and users don´t need to type in the login details every time. This paper discusses our design and implementation of our web based UNIX file management system.
