A lightweight web‑based file manager for browsing directories, uploading/downloading files, and performing basic file operations (create, rename, delete, copy).

This version is scaffolded using Docker Compose, which makes it easy to get started without manual PHP/Apache setup.

• Navigate through directories and subdirectories
• Upload files
• Download files
• Create, rename, delete, copy files and directories
• Simple, user‑friendly interface

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/a-sabagh/simple-file-manager.git
   cd simple-file-manager

2. Review/edit the compose.yaml file if needed (e.g., volume mapping, ports).

3. Launch the stack:

   docker-compose up -d

4. Open your browser and visit http://localhost:8088 (or the host/port you configured).

5. You should now be able to use the file manager.

• Volumes: Modify the volumes: section in compose.yaml to map your host directory to the container’s file‑store directory.
• Ports: By default you’ll map host port → container port (e.g., 80:80), but you can change this to any free port.
• Persistent data: Ensure your mapped directory is preserved across container restarts to keep your files safe.

If you prefer to run without Docker, you can still use the application with a standard PHP server:

1. Ensure PHP is installed (run php -v)

2. Clone the repository (as above)

3. From the project directory:

   php -S localhost:8000

4. Open your browser at http://localhost:8000/index.php
