New EE 2 Module: Remote File Browser

Launched today is a new EE 2 module for remotely accessing Rackspace Cloud Files, FTP and even Amazon S3 right inside your EE 2 control panel: Remote File Browser by Christopher Imrie.

This fieldtype allows you to have a Rackspace Cloud Files, FTP and Amazon S3 file browser inside of your EE publish page. Flexible settings allow you to only show one, two or all three file browsers in a single field as well as customize your settings to have each field connect to different Cloud Files, FTP, or Amazon S3 accounts. The file browser also includes Caching to ensure your keep you Cloud Files and Amazon S3 requests to a minimum.

Christopher sent me a copy of the add-on and I plan to do a write-up about it soon. Stay tuned for that.

Remote File Browser costs $45, works only with EE 2 and is available now through the devot:ee add-on shop.

(If you’re looking for an EE 1.6 add-on for S3 integration in the EE control panel, check out the gorgeous BucketList by Stephen Lewis.)
