Installation / Using the script

Installation

1. If you can unzip files online (e.g. with CPanel):

   Send fileman.zip to the directory of your webserver you want it to be, then extract it.

   Otherwise:

   Send the contents of fileman.zip to the directory of your webserver you want it to be.

2. Navigate to the directory you installed it in (example.com/fileman/)

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: If this process doesn't work, you can also set it up manually by editing config-example.inc.php and then renaming it to config.inc.php.

Usage

Go to the directory of your webserver you installed it. For instance, if you uploaded it to http://example.com/fileman/ , go there.
