About Tiny File Manager
Tiny File Manager is a web-based file manager written as one PHP file. You copy it into a directory on a PHP-capable web server and then browse and manage that server's files from a browser. A Dockerfile and docker-compose file are also provided for container setups.
It suits people who need quick browser access to files on a web host or small server without installing a larger application. Because it exposes a server's files over the web, it should be protected and kept up to date.
Strengths
