Pål Andreassen has updated WHS File Manager to v1.1.1.0 – for those of you who haven’t tried it out, here’s the lowdown on what the add-in can do.
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.
Use command buttons in the middle to copy, move or delete files. Or you can drag and drop files and folders from one side to the other.
Keys available
Backspace
Navigate up one folder
Del
Delete selected file / folder
Up/Down
Move in list of files and folders

Rename
Enter
Go into selected folder
The fixes and features are as follows:

– Small bug fix release
1.1.0.0
– Fixed shortcut keys (F5, F6, F8 etc)
– Pattern matching for select and deselect of files
– New dialog for storage information and server uptime
– Revamped user interface to match the Home Server Console style
