Multi File Upload Editor is a lightweight, secure, self-hosted web application for uploading, editing, and managing files. Built with an Apache/PHP backend and a modern JavaScript (ES6 modules) frontend, it offers a responsive, dynamic file management interface. It serves as an alternative to solutions like FileGator or ProjectSend, providing an easy-to-setup experience ideal for document management, image galleries, firmware file hosting, and more.

|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- **Multiple File/Folder Uploads with Progress:**
|
||
- Users can select and upload multiple files & folders at once.
|
||
- Each file upload displays an individual progress bar with percentage and upload speed.
|
||
- Image files show a small thumbnail preview (with default Material icons for other file types).
|
||
- **Built-in File Editing & Renaming:**
|
||
- Text-based files (e.g., .txt, .html, .js) can be opened and edited in a modal window using CodeMirror for:
|
||
- Syntax highlighting
|
||
- Line numbering
|
||
- Adjustable font sizes
|
||
- Files can be renamed directly through the interface.
|
||
- The renaming functionality now supports names with parentheses and checks for duplicate names, automatically generating a unique name (e.g., appending “ (1)”) when needed.
|
||
- Folder-specific metadata is updated accordingly.
|
||
- **Built-in File Preview:**
|
||
- Users can quickly preview images, videos, and PDFs directly in modal popups without leaving the page.
|
||
- The preview modal supports inline display of images (with proper scaling) and videos with playback controls.
|
||
- Navigation (prev/next) within image previews is supported for a seamless browsing experience.
|
||
- **Gallery (Grid) View:**
|
||
- In addition to the traditional table view, users can toggle to a gallery view that arranges image thumbnails in a grid layout.
|
||
- The gallery view offers multiple column options (e.g., 3, 4, or 5 columns) so that users can choose the layout that best fits their screen.
|
||
- Action buttons (Download, Edit, Rename, Share) appear beneath each thumbnail for quick access.
|
||
- **Batch Operations (Delete/Copy/Move/Download):**
|
||
- **Delete Files:** Delete multiple files at once.
|
||
- **Copy Files:** Copy selected files to another folder with a unique-naming feature to prevent overwrites.
|
||
- **Move Files:** Move selected files to a different folder, automatically generating a unique filename if needed to avoid data loss.
|
||
- **Download Files as ZIP:** Download selected files as a ZIP archive. Users can specify a custom name for the ZIP file via a modal dialog.
|
||
- **Drag & Drop:** Easily move files by selecting them from the file list and simply dragging them onto your desired folder in the folder tree. When you drop the files onto a folder, the system automatically moves them, updating your file organization in one seamless action.
|
||
- **Folder Management:**
|
||
- Organize files into folders and subfolders with the ability to create, rename, and delete folders.
|
||
- A dynamic folder tree in the UI allows users to navigate directories easily, and any changes are immediately reflected in real time.
|
||
- **Per-Folder Metadata Storage:** Each folder has its own metadata JSON file (e.g., `root_metadata.json`, `FolderName_metadata.json`), and operations (copy/move/rename) update these metadata files accordingly.
|
||
- **Sorting & Pagination:**
|
||
- The file list can be sorted by name, modified date, upload date, file size, or uploader.
|
||
- Pagination controls let users navigate through files with selectable page sizes (10, 20, 50, or 100 items per page) and “Prev”/“Next” navigation buttons.
|
||
- **Share Link Functionality:**
|
||
- Generate shareable links for files with configurable expiration times (e.g., 30, 60, 120, 180, 240 minutes, and a 1-day option) and optional password protection.
|
||
- Share links are stored in a JSON file with details including the folder, file, expiration timestamp, and hashed password.
|
||
- The share endpoint (`share.php`) validates tokens, expiration, and password before serving files (or forcing downloads).
|
||
- The share URL is configurable via environment variables or auto-detected from the server.
|
||
- **User Authentication & Management:**
|
||
- Secure, session-based authentication protects the file manager.
|
||
- Admin users can add or remove users through the interface.
|
||
- Passwords are hashed using PHP’s `password_hash()` for security.
|
||
- All state-changing endpoints include CSRF token validation.
|
||
- **Responsive, Dynamic & Persistent UI:**
|
||
- The interface is mobile-friendly and adapts to various screen sizes by hiding non-critical columns on small devices.
|
||
- Asynchronous updates (via Fetch API and XMLHttpRequest) keep the UI responsive without full page reloads.
|
||
- Persistent settings (such as items per page, dark/light mode preference, folder tree state, and the last open folder) ensure a smooth and customized user experience.
|
||
- **Dark Mode/Light Mode:**
|
||
- The application automatically adapts to the operating system’s theme preference by default and offers a manual toggle.
|
||
- The dark mode provides a darker background with lighter text and adjusts UI elements (including the CodeMirror editor) for optimal readability in low-light conditions.
|
||
- The light mode maintains a bright interface for well-lit environments.
|
||
- **Server & Security Enhancements:**
|
||
- The Apache configuration (or .htaccess files) is set to disable directory indexing (e.g., using `Options -Indexes` in the uploads directory), preventing unauthorized users from viewing directory contents.
|
||
- Direct access to sensitive files (e.g., `users.txt`) is restricted through .htaccess rules.
|
||
- A proxy download mechanism has been implemented (via endpoints like `download.php` and `downloadZip.php`) so that every file download request goes through a PHP script. This script validates the session and CSRF token before streaming the file, ensuring that even if a file URL is guessed, only authenticated users can access it.
|
||
- Administrators are advised to deploy the app on a secure internal network or use the proxy download mechanism for public deployments to further protect file content.
|
||
- **Trash Management with Restore & Delete:**
|
||
- **Trash Storage & Metadata:**
|
||
- Deleted files are moved to a designated “Trash” folder rather than being immediately removed.
|
||
- Metadata is stored in a JSON file (`trash.json`) that records:
|
||
- Original folder and file name
|
||
- Timestamp when the file was trashed
|
||
- Uploader information (and optionally who deleted it)
|
||
- Additional metadata (e.g., file type)
|
||
- **Restore Functionality:**
|
||
- Admins can view trashed files in a modal.
|
||
- They can restore individual files (with conflict checks) or restore all files back to their original location.
|
||
- **Delete Functionality:**
|
||
- Users can permanently delete trashed files via:
|
||
- **Delete Selected:** Remove specific files from the Trash and update `trash.json`.
|
||
- **Delete All:** Permanently remove every file from the Trash after confirmation.
|
||
- **Auto-Purge Mechanism:**
|
||
- The system automatically purges (permanently deletes) any files in the Trash older than three days, helping manage storage and prevent the accumulation of outdated files.
|
||
- **User Interface:**
|
||
- The trash modal displays details such as file name, uploader/deleter, and the trashed date/time.
|
||
- Material icons with tooltips visually represent the restore and delete actions.

## Installation & Setup
|
||
|
||
### Manual Installation
|
||
|
||
1. **Clone or Download the Repository:**
|
||
- **Clone:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone https://github.com/error311/multi-file-upload-editor.git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- **Download:**
|
||
Download the latest release from the GitHub releases page and extract it into your desired directory.
|
||
|
||
2. **Deploy to Your Web Server:**
|
||
- Place the project files in your Apache web directory (e.g., `/var/www/html`).
|
||
- Ensure PHP 8.1+ is installed along with the required extensions (php-json, php-curl, php-zip, etc.).
|
||
|
||
3. **Directory Setup & Permissions:**
|
||
- Create the following directories if they do not exist, and set appropriate permissions:
|
||
- `uploads/` – for file storage.
|
||
- `users/` – to store `users.txt` (user authentication data).
|
||
- `metadata/` – for storing `file_metadata.json` and other metadata.
|
||
- Example commands:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
mkdir -p /var/www/uploads /var/www/users /var/www/metadata
|
||
chmod -R 775 /var/www/uploads /var/www/users /var/www/metadata
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
4. **Configure Apache:**
|
||
- Ensure that directory indexing is disabled (using `Options -Indexes` in your `.htaccess` or Apache configuration).
|
||
- Make sure the Apache configuration allows URL rewriting if needed.
|
||
|
||
5. **Configuration File:**
|
||
- Open `config.php` and adjust the following constants as necessary:
|
||
- `BASE_URL`: Set this to your web app’s base URL.
|
||
- `UPLOAD_DIR`: Adjust the directory path for uploads.
|
||
- `TIMEZONE`: Set to your preferred timezone.
|
||
- `TOTAL_UPLOAD_SIZE`: Ensure it matches PHP’s `upload_max_filesize` and `post_max_size` settings in your `php.ini`.
|
||
|
||
### Initial Setup Instructions
|
||
|
||
- **First Launch Admin Setup:**
|
||
On first launch, if no users exist, the application will enter a setup mode. You will be prompted to create an admin user. This is handled automatically by the application (e.g., via a “Create Admin” form).
|
||
**Note:** No default credentials are provided. You must create the first admin account to log in and manage additional users.

||
## Configuration Guidance
|
||
|
||
The `config.php` file contains several key constants that may need adjustment for your deployment:
|
||
|
||
- **BASE_URL:**
|
||
Set to the URL where your application is hosted (e.g., `http://yourdomain.com/uploads/`).
|
||
|
||
- **UPLOAD_DIR, USERS_DIR, META_DIR:**
|
||
Define the directories for uploads, user data, and metadata. Adjust these to match your server environment or Docker volume mounts.
|
||
|
||
- **TIMEZONE & DATE_TIME_FORMAT:**
|
||
Set according to your regional settings.
|
||
|
||
- **TOTAL_UPLOAD_SIZE:**
|
||
Defines the maximum upload size (default is `5G`). Ensure that PHP’s `upload_max_filesize` and `post_max_size` in your `php.ini` are consistent with this setting. The startup script (`start.sh`) updates PHP limits at runtime based on this value.
|
||
|
||
- **Environment Variables (Docker):**
|
||
The Docker image supports overriding configuration via environment variables. For example, you can set `SECURE`, `SHARE_URL`, and port settings via the container’s environment.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Additional Information
|
||
|
||
- **Security:**
|
||
All state-changing endpoints use CSRF token validation. Ensure that sessions and tokens are correctly configured as per your deployment environment.
|
||
|
||
- **Permissions:**
|
||
Both manual and Docker installations include steps to ensure that file and directory permissions are set correctly for the web server to read and write as needed.
|
||
|
||
- **Logging & Troubleshooting:**
|
||
Check Apache logs (located in `/var/log/apache2/`) for troubleshooting any issues during deployment or operation.
