user account

Drupal is the name of the software that powers WebFM 4-7. There are Drupal web sites all over the world, and many of them share their registration databases so that users may freely log in to any Drupal site using a single Drupal ID.

So please feel free to log in to your account here at WebFM 4-7 with a username from another Drupal site. The format of a Drupal ID is similar to an e-mail address: username@server. An example of a valid Drupal ID is mwlily@drupal.org.

WebFM User Guide

Webfm is an admin tool so you must have an active account to use it. The Drupal module is enabled so drupal-username@drupal.org logins can be used.

Right clicking on file and directory objects presents context sensitive menu operations.

Clicking on directory links opens the directory in the right hand listing. File links download the file.

There are 3 methods of importing files into the system:

Inline upload via the upload fieldset inside the manager
File transfer with ftp or shell into webfm dir/subdir accompanied by a database insertion via the menu or bulk insert buttons on the listing header
Optional legacy method of file transfer to ftp dir with a drag-and-drop operation into the webfm dir/subdir

Drag and drop of directories move all subcontents and adjusts the database accordingly.

Attachments do not rely on file location so reordering the directory structure doesn't affect the functioning of referenced files.

Drag and drop can set attachment order.

.htaccess can be applied to the webfm root directory to make the files private. Webfm streams downloads and thus your browser doesn't require direct http access to the directories.
