Add-In: File Manager 1.0.0.1

By on March 29, 2009 in Windows Home Server

A new add-in from Pal Andreassen, File Manager, allows you to copy, move and delete files on your home server from within the WHS Console.

One the applications is installed, you can navigate between folders on your home server and use your function keys to move, copy and delete files.

Here’s what Pal has to say about the app:

Copying or even move files between shares or folders in a share on the home server is a slow task if you do it over the network, enter the WHS file manager add-in.

This is a simple dual-pane file manager for the WHS management console. It allows you to safely copy, move and delete files on your home server. It will only show your shared folders and it will use UNC for file copying. This means it will be slower than copying to/from local disks using remote desktop, but it’s also a lot safer.

License

This Add-In is available free of charge, for all users (private, organizations and companies). You can copy and share the Add-In (in MSI form) for free. The only restriction is that you cannot sell or otherwise charge for the product.

    Sounds great. This with the new web browser add-in means I’ll never have to login as the admin over remote desktop again.

    I’m new to the whole WHS thing so, forgive me if this is an amateur question. I read in a couple of places that it’s not a good idea to access data on your WHS using a drive letter path (ie: D:\share\Music). Instead, you are supposed to use an UNC path. That being said, how should I install non add-in type software (firefly, pyTiVo) on my WHS? Also, should I setup pyTiVo and firefly to access my media using the UNC path?
