editor

editor copied to clipboard

This project is a single PHP file that can be uploaded to a webserver. It will then allow browsing and editing of files using an HTML5 editor (no browser plugins required).

The purpose of this project is to allow code editing/deleting/uploading on shared web space where FTP or other means of editing is unavailable or not practical (such as a Chromebook).

Advantages over FTP

• No IDE software needs to be installed
• No complex firewall rules
• HTML5 only - perfect for Chrome OS

Disadvantages over FTP

• Limited functionality
• Must upload php script to begin with

Installation

Upload the editor.php file (in the dist/ directory) to the root of your web space then point your browser to http://yoursite.com/editor.php and login to edit files. Default password is 'admin'.

Install - via SSH

cd public_html
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simon-thorpe/editor/master/dist/editor.php

Install - via FTP

• Upload editor.php to the root of your web directory

Install - via CMS

Some content management systems allow creating simple text files. All you need to do is create a file editor.php (or any name you like) then paste the contents of dist/editor.php into that file.
