Assigned permission for Anonymous: access webfm

Added options:
Role View Access
Public Access

Cleared cache.
Permission to directory changed to 755
Nothing helped.

Still No trees found.
Any other special configuration to make it working?

It could be related to: #455312: Role root directory won't save - all users without administer webfm get No trees found

Giving permission 'administer webfm' for anonymous works, but it's not a solution.

Changed following line:

  } else if(user_access('access webfm')) {
    $webfm_perm = WEBFM_USER;

to:

  } else if(user_access('access webfm')) {
    $webfm_perm = WEBFM_ADMIN; // line 830

helped for me until it will be fixed in proper way.

But there is still some bug that users in Public mode can't see attachments.
There is Page not Found.
I think this module is useless for somebody how want to use it for public.

Marked #442324: Anonymous File Download as duplicated.

Any other file managers that allow you just simply download PDF files in similar way for anonymous?

Hi,

I think I have a proper (but temporal solution, waiting Public Access functionality to work):

  • First of all, I have configured WebFM root directory to "webfm"
  • In "Default file permission" I have checked the first option: Role View Access
  • In "Settings for anonymous user role" I have configured "Role Root directory" to "myfiles"
  • In permissions page I have checked "access webfm" and "view webfm attachments" for Anonymous user
  • After that I have uploaded several images through WebFM interface (as admin)
  • As anonymous I can see uploaded files in "myfiles" directory

If you don't use WebFM interface to upload your files (using ftp or scp) I think that files won't be shown to anonymous users. In order to get them shown login as admin go to your webfm page and you will see them in a grey colour. If you do a right click on them and select "Add file to database" anonymous will see them.

Hope this helps you... and thanks to module developers, I hope that this module will be fully functional in the final version.

Do I understand this correctly - you would like the webfm file browser to be shown to anonymous users?

Yes, uploaded by authorized users, available for download by anonymous.
