Yes, I do agree with you, that displaying the server file system is a bad idea from a security perspective.
But my requirement asks for it, and i can't help them understand the implications.
Anyways,
I've a page that displays the server folders (lets say only from /var/temp/ as root folder ), and a little bit functionality that i've added like create a folder, upload a file to the current folder using apache commons library, delete a file and delete a folder.
But not sure how to implement move functionality.
This is not a Windows application, and my dev env is Java, JSP,
servlets,
tomcat.
I've a jquery plugin (jquery file tree plugin) that can display server folders but not sure what container i should use to display it.
