Remote Files SE can display simplified or extended web interface for remote user depending on one’s account settings. Extended interface is default and provides access to all online commands of the server (that are allowed for a user). Simplified web interface is turned on by ‘use simplified web interface’ checkbox on the ‘Create new account’ or ‘Modify account’ windows (or corresponding pages in remote administration web interface).

The server does not display ‘New folder’, ‘Search’, ‘Add bookmark’ and ‘Paste’ icons in the toolbar, bookmark and virtual archive sections in the left column and ‘More…’ links in the directory listing in the simplified web interface. Therefore it is optimized for download and upload operations only.

The server uses listing_simple.htm template to generate output in the simplified interface. You can further restrict functionality by deleting some icons like ‘Upload’ or ‘Upload and Unzip’, or deleting left column at all. From the other hand, it is possible to add some deleted by default commands like ‘Search’. This can be done by copying corresponding icons with links from extended template (listing.htm).

Note. The program does not display some commands mentioned above in the simplified web interface. But it does not block access to corresponding pages if remote user knows site organization and requests them manually from the address bar. Therefore, block any function that you do not allow doing for remote user in account settings even in the simplified web interface to be sure that one can not perform any unexpected operation directly from the address bar.

According to this note, you may configure account in the simplified web interface as follows:

Make this account active Checked
Enable upload Checked
Enable download Checked
Enable creating subdirectories Not checked
Allow several simultaneous connections for this user As needed
Allow deleting files and folders Not checked
Enable duplicating account Not checked
Allow searching Not checked
Allow viewing user’s logs online Not checked
Inform Administrator about connection of this user As needed
Allow upload from online As needed
Use simplified web interface Checked
