The programm is divided into 4 different modes:
Exploremode, no uploads allowedThis shows al list of directories, files and url links the viewer can choose from to either download, change the directory or start the choosen url.
Exploremode, uploads allowed (defined directory only)Additionally to (1), specified groups may upload files to a specific predefined directory.Of course, filetypes can be restricted to specified types, others may be banned.
Exploremode, uploads to any directorySpecified groups can upload files to any directory they can reach. Moving, deleting, overwriting etc. can be prohibited.
Exploremode, admin accessAdmins can do anything inside the directory tree they can reach. The tree root can be defined.
ListmodeUsing directories as chapter names and their (one-level) content as content, a flat download list is presented. No other options are available in this mode.
Using the exploremode, all files in the presented directory are written automatically into the database. Depending on rights of the user, banned list, etc. certain files may not be presented to users without administration rights. Those files and directories are marked with a red dot to administers who, of course can see all files and directories.
Also, you may upload files, move them to another directory, add a description or delete them. Also you may switch any file or directory in hidden mode and back.
Beside the files, you may define links to other websites. The type of file (or link) is showed by an icon at the beginning of a line, informing if you will find a pdf, doc, xls or some other type of document.
In List mode (this is the presentation form to "standard" users, normally not logged in), the upper directories are presented as Titles. The Files inside the directories are presented as a download link list.All downloads are passed by the programm, the real path is not shown to the webvisitor. You may even put the filestructure outside your webservers range, because the php software is able to get them there (but a webvisitor is not)
The root directory you see, is configured to a specific directory on the webserver. This may be any directory that can be reached by PHP. The absolute path however is made invisible.
You can always jumb back to your rootdir by clicking the 
symbol, or the leading '/' on the topline.
You can change to the next subdirectory, by clicking the title of a listed directory.
On the topline, you will see the path, showing where you are. While clicking on a sub-part of this path, the programm jumps to the subdirectory you clicked on.
This is only available for admin_users and allow_any_uploads defined users.
Move to the directory, where you want to create a directory
Type the name of the directory in the input box (description)
Select from the dropdown box the option "create directory"
Click on the
to submit the task
If a user is member of a group, defined in “allow_uploads”, uploads are only allowed to the directory defined in the “allow_upload_dir”. If another directory was selected, the programm changes automatically to the upload directory while the upload is being executed.
If a user is member of a group, defined in “allow_any_uploads”, upload to any selected directory will be executed.If the user is also member of a group defined in “allow_overwrites”, an already available file may be overwritten.
Files, owned by the same user (ie. this user uploaded the same file before) may always be overwritten, moved or deleted.
Move to the directory, where you want to upload the file to
Choose the file from your pc (maximum size is depending on your php and typo3 settings )
Click “Send to server” button
Your newly uploaded file should be in the list now. You may add a description to the file, or make it hidden to other users.(Except admin_users)
One option is to create links to other sites, instead of copying the data to your server.Those links show up in the list with an IE icon.To create an external link, put a description in the input box (description), and copy (drag and drop) the url in the lower input box.Choose 'create url' from the dropdown option box, and click the button to sumit the task.
By this means, you may create nice link lists to your website, looking analog to the listmode below.
You may hide files, links and directories to other users and webvisitors.You will see your own files if they are marked hidden, other users exept admin_users won't see them any more.Hidden files are marked with a red dot (in explore mode), non-hidden files are marked with a green dot.
Mark the files/links/directories you want to hide or unhide by marking the corresponding checkboxes, then choose the option hide/unhide from the option dropdown box and click the button to sumit the task.
Simply click on the title.If the title does not have a link, the allowed_download option is not set.
If you are the owner of a file or directory, or you are a member of a group defined in “admin_users”, you may always delete, move or overwrite it.
To delete a file, select it by marking the corresponding checkbox at the beginning of the line. You may delete more files at the same time, but only one directory (witch must be empty)
Then, select the option "delete marked" from the dropdown options box, and submit the task by clicking the button.
If a directory is not empty (this may include hidden files you may not see), deletion is not possible unless you have admin_users rights.
Moving files is done by marking the checkboxes that corresponds to the desired file(s).Now, type the desired directory (witch must exist), and submit the task by clicking the button.
You may use path definitions like “/xxx/yyy”, “../../yyy”, “xxx/yyy” etc. with or without a trailing slash.
