A file manager is necessary !?

[gfgrisales]

Sounds like a plan, though I just lag the time to actually do anything haha.

Neither do I Haaaa ha ha.. Anyway.
The whole idea is Fantastic... the fact we are thinking about it is already something and is more than of what we had yesterday.

Building such module would not be so hard.

I wish I could tell the same, I know some PHP and I program somethings for wordpress and even have got to create some little projects to integrate two different technologies but have not a clue about programming for linux! and I'm not familiar with the dryden framework.

I even took time to check that ajax explorer aka pydio works fine on a normal hosting:
BUT my concern is always having such features executing within the panel context.

Why?... I mean... what is the risk that you see on it?

In my own setup I move off webmail/phpmyadmin to a custom subdomain for my customers, so I can maintain it & ensure it's locked down ( less privilege than execution into sentora sub domain).

How do you you do that?
I mean. I know how to assing a subdomain to the webmail and same is the process for PhPMyadmin but is this what you do or you "literally" remove sentora permisions from both logins?
Because for my understanding all of what the sentora panel does is provide a link to the login screens of each aplication. I am not aware of any special permissions on the login different than what a normal install of this modules would have.

Check monstaFTP that will use the ftp access to upload/ manage/edit files & works great.

I checked and looks great... for people like us familiar with IT stuff, plenty of knowledge and resourcefull but as per my type of customers experience (designers, average business owners and some, IT noobs), more than just drag 'n drop file management is required.

Use the standars set by cPanel (thanks to hostgator and big hosting providers) as a reference.
With the default cPanel file explorer you can

• Upload
  
• Download
  
• Compress
  
• Decompress
  
• Edit files (in plain text view)
  
• Edit file permissions (RWX)
  

Some of this was achievable with ajaxplorer and that is why it was looking good to use on zPanel.

Now that you mention te licensing method jacob,
Does pyd.io have an opensource licensing or they changed the licensing model along with the brand?
