Installation :
JCUExplorer is a jClientUpload add-on so you do need jClientUpload installed before installing it. Here are instructions :
1 - Copy dist/lib/jcuexplorer.jar under lib/ folder (where others jClientUpload JAR files
are stored).
2 - Copy i18n_bar.properties, i18n_pane.properties and all .html + .js files under
the same folder as jClientUpload HTML/JavaScript files.
3 - Modify dist/applet_http_explorer.js or dist/applet_ftp_explorer.js
to setup basic parameters and open the HTML file in your browser to try it.
4 - Optional : Modify i18n_pane.properties to customize front-end.
Parameters :
Samples provided in JCUExplorer are already setup with basic parameters to allow recursive transfers. You just have to update url parameter with your own server. JCUExplorer supports many jClientUpload parameters so check out parameters for FTP and HTTP but most useful parameters are :
- resume : It allows to enable resume support for transfers.
- account : It allows to select an initial root directory for remote host.
- authentication : It allows to display an authentication pop-up if you don't want to pass
login/password in Applet parameters.
Front-end can also be customized. First, you can modify width and height which are available in .js files (3 occurences to update). Second, panels properties (panel layout, colors, messages, buttons, ...) are available under i18n_pane.properties. Finally, progress bar properties (messages, colors) are under i18n_bar.properties.

- How to setup JCU Explorer for HTTP transfers ?
You need a server-side script implementing JCU Explorer commands to list folders, make folder, rename and delete files. We provide two samples:
- One that works with our JSP UploadBean script. You have to use explorer.jsp from server-side/jsp/ folder and add <%@ include file="explorer.jsp" %> in LargeUpload.jsp (see readme.txt from JCUExplorer package).
- Another that works with our PHP sample script available in add-ons section. You have to use explorer.php from server-side/php/ folder and add include "explorer.php"; in process.php (see readme.txt from JCUExplorer package).
- Does JCU Explorer support SSL ?
Yes, both HTTPS and FTPS. Just modify url parameter (with https://yourserver, or ftps://yourserver) to make it works.
- How to prompt end-user for FTP login/pasword ?
First, enable authentication parameter such as :
<PARAM NAME="authentication" VALUE="auto">
Second, remove all username and password parameters. End-user will be prompted on first transfer action (upload, download, refresh, ...).
If you want to prompt end-user on applet loading (before first transfer) then you have fill in username parameter with any value (e.g. anonymous) and an empty password such as :
<PARAM NAME="username" VALUE="anonymous">
<PARAM NAME="password" VALUE="">
You have a sample image of the prompt on the right.
Three attempts are allowed. |
