Filegator - Open Source/ Self Hosted File Management
Looks interesting, I liked the clean interface. Played around with the demo (which of course does not allow uploading/ editing/deleting files) but liked it enough to give it a try on one of the idlers.

Been using NC.
Never looked back
what is NC
NextCloud.
⭕ A simple uptime dashboard using UptimeRobot API https://upy.duo.ovh
⭕ Currently using VPS from BuyVM, GreenCloudVPS, Gullo's, Hetzner, HostHatch, InceptionHosting, LetBox, MaxKVM, MrVM, VirMach.
Although FileGator looks shiny and nice, I wonder what its main use case is. After all, we have ftp.
Also, since version 7 is "completely rewritten from scratch" and dates from only last year, I'd be a bit cautious before installing it on a production system. By comparison, Nextcloud is time- and deployment-tested.
Just my two cents -- I don't mean to spoil the fun
"A single swap file or partition may be up to 128 MB in size. [...] [I]f you need 256 MB of swap, you can create two 128-MB swap partitions." (M. Welsh & L. Kaufman, Running Linux, 2e, 1996, p. 49)
Certainly! Definitely not for a production site.

It's a good replacement for FTP, if you prefer to had ability to preview some files use H5ai.
Nextcloud too bloatware
Nextcloud is really good specially with integration to only office
Want free vps ? https://microlxc.net
Nextcloud is in a different comparison class than FileGator, so there wouldn't be much point in directly comparing the two. Clearly, if all that you want/need is a web-based file manager, then Nextcloud would be overkill, but the question (which I asked above) is what the main intended use of FileGator is. If FileGator is a replacement for (s)ftp, then it seems to me to be overkill (and too fresh out of the oven to trust on a production machine).
As I also said, FileGator looks shiny and nice, and if you're inclined to try to make everything web-based, then it may be worth a look, but I'd also be a little cautious ...

I'd put it behind a vpn.
Thanks for sharing. Simple and clean interface. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Filegator has been around a long time, originally it was sold on CodeCanyon.
Used it a lot in the past (before the rewrite) and it was always solid, used it as a way to share an FTP folder on the web with user restrictions, will definitely check out the new version of it!
