File manager for website

elFinder is an open-source file manager for web, written in JavaScript using jQuery UI. As you can see its creation is inspired by simplicity and convenience of Finder program used in Mac OS X operating system.

The main goal of our file manager - is to make you work with remote files the same convenient, as on your computer.
You can select files the usual way as on your computer and then just drag them to desired folder to move.
