Use CKFinder to browse remote sites

Hi,

i'm currently assigned a task to use CKFinder (PHP version) for browsing not the local files but remote files, situated on different hosts. So the folder tree, the file listing, all the functions would work with files situated on other host (logically on that host i will put some PHP code to allow such usage of the CKFinder)

Did anyone try doing something similar?

Any help is appreciated!

Re: Use CKFinder to browse remote sites

Basically you need to rewrite the connector to use ftp_* functions.
Make sure you have the right license to do it.

Hi Wiktor,

Can you please elaborate on this suggestion? Do you mean the connector servlet in the case of a custom Java implementation?

Thanks,

Jason

Re: Use CKFinder to browse remote sites

I have the remote file system mounted to the server hosing the application now. The files I need to browse will not be reachable with a url.

Creating a symbolic link in tomcat/webapps/myApp pointing to the directory I want to browse worked as if it were in the root of the application folder.
