Great Plugin - Great Support
We use the pro version of the plugin. It runs very quickly and is easy to install. We had a small problem with a special request and the support answered us immediately. We are very satisfied.

Excellent plugin and service
This plugin was exactly what I was looking for, I just wanted to browse the files and folders structure of an already existing directory, with this, now our group of students can have a very easy access to our pdf, mp3, mp4 and more. Also, the author is very collaborative and keen to help as soon as possible.

A life saver
A very handy plug-in that lets you display and use the contents of a directory. You can deal with the contents of the directory with the use of ftp. Very easy to use, very lightweight, excellent. Thank you
