What is Ajaxplorer?
Ajaxplorer is basically an open source software that turns instantly any server (on premise, NAS, cloud IaaS or PaaS) into a file sharing platform. But shortly describing, Ajaxplorer is an alternative File Browser or File Manager software built with some Ajax cool effects. AjaXplorer now becomes Pydio so the one we use here on zPanel is not the latest version. However it is free, cool and awesome. It is really a great way to manage all your files in your server if you don’t prefer to use FTP.

nano /etc/zpanel/configs/apache/httpd.conf |
Step 9 – Make sure the following line as below:
