Pydio, formerly known as AjaXplorer, is an open source application that can be used to setup fileserver on any system. It is an alternative to SaaS Boxes and Drives, with more control, safety and privacy, and favorable TCOs. It provides the easy access to files/folders from any system, from any browser over LAN or WAN. It has an embedded WebDAV server and native mobile applications for iOS and Android. It is easy to install, configure and it is designed to provide enterprise grade security and control. Moreover, Pydio users and groups can be mapped directly from your external LDAP/AD server, or from the most common PHP-based CMS.

Install Pydio

As I mentioned before, We can deploy Pydio on any webserver. In this tutorial, I am going to setup the fileserver using LAMP. To install and configure LAMP server, use any one of the following links. My testbox is running with CentOS 6.5 and my testbox hostname is server.unixmen.local and IP Address is 192.168.1.101/24. Also, the same steps are applicable for all RPM based distributions such as RHEL/Scientific Linux 6.x and Fedora.
