What is HTTP Commander?

web based file management

HTTP Commander is a web based file management solution hosted on your own server. It provides a basic functionality for working with files (creating, coping, deleting, etc.) and many other additional features such as the integration with cloud services, editing Office documents online directly in your browser, tags, comments, and more.

It's ideal for the integration into an existing Active Directory Structure, since you can use your existing user base, existing network shares and NTFS permissions. With HTTP Commander you can configure external access to existing SMB shares within 10 minutes.

It also can be used without an AD, so users can register themselves, administrators can manage the users directly within the application.

HTTP Commander helps you quickly organize external access to internal folders/files (located within the organization) for employees to Work From Home.

HTTP Commander is hosted on your own server. You pay for the license only once and there are no recurring payments.
You save up to 10 times compared to the cloud services.
