I'm looking for a web based FTP client, with a good PHP, javascript, html, code editor. possibly with unzip capability.
I've tried eXtplorer, but it's pretty buggy, especially the editor.
Any suggestions?
EDIT:
I thought about this and i decide that maybe it's better to have a desktop app that allows this kind of connection (read the comment below) instead of using a web app that is slower for sure.
So I change my question: Is there a mac os app that allows me to manage my server files via a protocol like web ftp, so that i'm not firewalled by public networks limitations?
To turn your request around emacs provides remote file access over a variety of protocols including ftp (tramp mode), and can function as a web browser as well. If you really want it to run in a browser you can find a web terminal emulator and run emacs from the command-line.
How about PHPfileNavigator? (I'm assuming you want PHP based on eXtplorer.) I haven't used it, but a friend of mine said it worked pretty well once.
Edit: Based on your edit, are you just looking for a Mac FTP client? There are certainly plenty of those around. What is the specific requirement that's preventing you from using a normal one? Is it that an FTP service can't be opened on that server for some reason?
If that's the case, what services can be made available on the server? FTP on a different port? SSH/SFTP, perhaps?

I'm prototyping using Apache Guacamole for brokering RDP connections.
The tech stack works really well, however, I'm hitting a usability issue in regaurds to running a Mac and trying to send hot keys like Control+C/Command+C and them not working.
Per Guac's docs, this seems to be inline with what they expect, as they don't do any "curtesy" remapping that other RDP managers on Mac (Microsoft Remote Desktop, RDS HTML5 Client, etc) do.
My question is has anyone found a customization or workaround to allow Mac->Win keymapping through Guacemole HTMl5 interface?
I'm not sure its a none starter, but it is extremly difficult to use windows with nearly no keyboard shortcuts :).
Thanks!
On my mac I use BetterTouchTool to get around this issue. It's not great though because your guacamole will still register the original keypresses from time to time. I have been looking for a workaround as well and have thus far not been able to find one :/.
First, I guess I'd have to figure out if I'm running remotely and second I'd have to figure out whether my remote connection is a standalone remote app or an app running on a terminal server (that may be tricky).
But, once I've figured out all those awful things, is there a way to run a windows function like ShellExecute locally instead of remotely?
The reason I'd want to do this is because I launch a web browser to view rather high bandwidth things that require javascript and flash and certain sysadmins who administer our product aren't too keen on having to make unnecessary and insecure modifications to their terminal server farm.
Yes, if the clients are running Windows and you can install software on them.
See Remote Desktop Services Virtual Channels in MSDN.
There is a free tool that does exactly what you want. I got reference from TechNet forums, it's named Remote Executer from http://www.mqtechnologies.com
Good luck
We are going to develop a client-server application where all the office documents will be stored on the remote server.
The problem is that users need to edit these docs very often.
The standard solution is:
download
edit locally
upload
But it is very inconvenient and would cause high traffic, cause docs are very large.
Is there any solution to edit documents right on server?
E.g. some remote OpenOffice installation which we can connect somehow?
Thanks in advance!
Unless you can give your users RDP sessions on Windows or VNC (or X windows?) sessions on Linux you're going to be stuck with downloading the document to edit locally (in one form or another) then upload again.
There may be some HTTP/browser based solution but because it's HTTP you're going be to pulling all of the document back to the browser to edit then posting back to the server, it pretty much defeats the purpose.
As pointed out by Kev, one solution would be some sort of remote access software to access a copy of OpenOffice.org running on the server. There is for example a VNC viewer that will run as a Java applet in a browser (http://www.realvnc.com/support/javavncviewer.html ), that might do the trick.
Another option would be a server-based office package, a la Google docs. There are some available, but none with the full feature set of OpenOffice.org, so this is probably only an option if you can restrict to that feature set. If you can, it could work quite well.
I'm finding an non-daemon, interactive-mode only, portable(moveable) FTP server for Mac OS X.
Like MAMP.
This will be used temporarily for local development only. Not for service.
Just file listing and serving(download) features required. Complex features like account management or SSL are not required.
This should be run as an UI application, and should not depend on system setting. Whole server should possible to be moved with only folder copying.
Is there a solution like this?
Woof is a web not ftp server. Minimal and almost trivial to use. Depending on you use case it might work for you.
For a current project, I need to allow users to access their files remotely from Windows. I'm looking for a solution with an explorer integration (using Shell Namespace Extensions).
I first try using WebDAV and the built-in client in Windows but the client is not of equal quality in all Windows version and adding SSL and/or authentication is not working as espected.
I am not attached to WebDAV, it can be any protocol. I prefer open-source project or a commercial one with a SDK license (must be integrated in a product).
Have you tried "sharing" the filesystem? If your server runs Linux, you could try samba. I haven't tried Windows in a while, but I seem to remember that the Explorer did ftp as well.
I'm assuming plain HTTP is a no go here.
