Simple File Manager Api

Simple File Manager is a PHP REST Api based file manager. It is a simple, fast and small size that can be dropped into any folder on your server. This can integrate into automation work where you need to upload, store/delete file versions. The Application runs on PHP 8.1+. It allows the creation of multiple users. The first version does not support separate folders or logical separation of files. I have created this project mostly to support some automation work that I was doing so feel free to fork or clone and enhance this project. I in no way claim to say that this is perfect so please find issues and I will try my best to solve them.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+ (Not tested on lower versions)
• Composer (Dependencies are firebase/jwt and uuid)

Installation Notes

1. ZIP Method
   1. Download the zip file from main branch
   2. Create folder on your server and unzip the file.
   3. This can be for apache/nginx etc.
2. Clone the main branch and the remaining steps are the same.

Instructions

1. settings.json file contains all the settings error messages, informational messages, secret key etc. you can tweak it as you please.
2. administrator default password is "admin@123"
3. password is stored in settings.json file under users. Bcrypt generator i used to generate password like -> sha256 of admin@123 -> 7676aaafb027c825bd9abab78b234070e702752f625b752e55e55b48e607e358
