File Managers

File Manager

The File Manager is a tool used in the administration to manage your files.

GrandCMS use the elFinder filemanager as main file manager. With elFinder you can manage your resource files without ftp client.

You can find it here: Tools -> File manager

You have 2 root folder: "Image" and " Download". You can't manage system files with built in file managers for security reasons.

elFinder is more than a simple file manager. You can get information from your files, preview, edit (resize, crop, rotate) your pictures online.
