  git clone https://github.com/efeiefei/node-file-manager.git

  node --harmony index.js -p 8080 -d /path/to

We can run node-file-manager in terminal directly. We can specify prot add data root dir by -p and -d, default with 5000 and scripts directory.

Then, we can view localhost:8080/ in our browr.

HTTP Basic Auth

The app is protected with simple http basic auth, so it's recommended to use it just over TLS (HTTPS). Let's Encrypt is your friend. ;)

Setup

If you use linux you can simply use htpasswd comming with apache2-utils (on Debian/Ubuntu)

On Debian/Ubuntu do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install apache2-utils

Add User

The following command creates a new htpasswd file in the current folder with the user peter. After creating a new file copy it into the lib dir of the app or append the content of the new file to the existing one.

htpasswd -c ./htpasswd peter
cp ./htpasswd node-file-manager/lib
