File manager for Webmin

Dear developers,

thank you very much for the development of the new filemanager for webmin. Great development. I succeeded in using this component as a root user. I however did not succeed in restricting the access rights for individual users - could someone possibly give me a hint towards finding my error? This is what I did:

Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:14.04
 MAINTAINER ...
 
# Install webmin
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/docker-gzip-indexes
RUN sudo apt-get update
RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install \
    perl libnet-ssleay-perl \
    openssl \
    libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl \
    apt-show-versions \
    python 
RUN apt-get install wget -y
RUN wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.801_all.deb
RUN dpkg -i webmin_1.801_all.deb
RUN apt-get -y install -f
 
EXPOSE 10000
...

The package contains filemin, and after installation filemin is available for user root

new user "userone"

Webmin > Webmin Users > Create a new Webmin User
Username: userone
Member of group: none
Create

selected "userone"
Available Webmin modules
Others > File Manager (selected and saved)

selected "userone"
Available Webmin modules
Others > File Manager (selected)
Allow access to directories:
$HOME
/var/www
save

Result: userone has access to all files on the server

What is missing here? Thank you very much for help

does anyone here know that there is github account where you can request all patches and updates to be merged? :)

Hi everyone, Is there a way to enable "edit" option in the new File Manager as it is in the old webmin theme?

Thanks

Hi I don't find the extract button in debian jessie, my server works very well, when I install another linux like centos 7 or ubuntu 16.04 or 14.04, the extract button appears. I think it's a dependency problem in debian 8. Do you have a solution for this issue?

Kind regards

I had the original version installed by default by virtualmin, and I updated it to the latest version 2.0.2 and the same problem.

I notice you that it worked welle in other distros like centos7, ubuntu, debian wheezy, but just in debian jessie, the button doen't appear.

Thank you Realgecko

Hmmmm so?, there are requirements or dependencies for Filemin? to look for those aren't exist in my envirement. In which situations that button doen't appear?

Yes Yes YES!! It worked!! After Installation of shared-mime-info now I have the extract button and it works!! Thank you very much Realgecko

Best regards

After installing this filemin module the module works as expected, except for the additional Filemin Update module. this does not seem to have been installed. I checked the ACL on the users and the 2nd module is just not registered. Any ideas?

H all, I use the lastet Filemin 2.1 and I want to replace folders and files by others, not creatng a _copy files and folders? there is somethng to do in configuration to achieve that?

kinde regards Zak

How to change the default 25 rows per page display ?

Filemin2 does not work anymore in my system, not showing any file in directories. It does not seem to be supported too, not being updated since last year. How to roll back to standard filemin? Thanks

OK, found it: just reinstall the filemin module from Webmin

Ubuntu 16.04 / Debian 9.0 Linux 4.4.0-79-generic on x86_64

I think I found the problem: Initially, and sometaimes, the right pane stays empty when clicking on any folder in the left pane. In order to see something, one need to click on the left pane upper tab. Then the files show up normally in the right pane. This may not be a bug, but is omewhat counterintuitive.

I hate the colors and the icons used that seem a bit cryptic to me, other than that it's ok.

I switched to Filemin for the "folder size" function. However, the function returns size for ALL folders listed which can take forever for large folders. There should be a function to find folder size for just SELECTED folders, like the other commands.

Please add this to filemin. Any other module available that can do this?

Webmin File manager in new version 1.930 works with bug, unfortunately. It reports "file not found" while root operations ( create, change, delete ) Has somebody any solutions?

Thank

Thank you! It works. Iface unusual a bit )
