KFM (Kae's File Manager) is a navigational file manager designed for use within a content management system. The file manager can be installed on any web server which uses the PHP language, specifically PHP5.

KFM was designed from the start as an Ajax application, to try to emulate common desktop file managers as closely as possible.

This file manager was created originally as a plugin for FCKeditor, but can be used standalone, or with a different Rich Text Editor.
