Alternatives to AjaXplorer
AjaXplorer is a browser-based file explorer for remotely managing files. It is free software. AjaXplorer uses Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax), which is a group of web development applications that governs how websites communicate with servers, and retrieves data in a fluid fashion. AjaXplorer is not the only browser-based file explorer out there; alternatives to AjaXplorer are available.

SynaMan
-
SynaMan -- pronounced "cinnamon" -- is a free data management software. It allows users to upload, edit or download files from any computer connected to the Internet. It is web-based. The end user downloads the software onto one computer that acts as the host. Other users can access those files just by using their browser. They don't need to download the software themselves. Security features that SynaMan offers ensure no one can access files on the host machine unless the host intends the user to.
ForkLift
-
ForkLift is a Mac-specific remote file manager and File Transfer Protocol client. It connects to remote servers of many types including Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) servers. It also shares files with Bluetooth or other devices that your computer connects to. Unlike AjaXplorer and SynaMan, ForkLift isn't free. It costs $29.95, as of 2011.

XULTech Firelinks
-
XULTech Firelinks is another file manager that lets you access a remote server with only your web browser. For users, the design aims to capture the feel of a desktop application within the browser. Like AjaXplorer, Firelinks uses Ajax, which allows the file manager to work smoothly even in slow connections. Firelinks is compatible with Linux and Windows for the host server, but you can change that server with any operating system that supports Mozilla Firefox.

All the communication between remote computers and host servers is encrypted for safety. 1T Solutions staff customizes the software for your data needs, so you must have a consultation before you buy the product.
