This software is aimed to simplify web hosting managment. It so far allows you to manage .htpassword files and to do powerful backups of your webspace. It has been designed to remain simple and flexible yet to accept additional features. WT can be used on shared hosting. The design is purely CSS based and allows extensive customization. The whole system is mainly a structure for plugins. There is two so far : backup and htpwd. Plugins are very easy to code, and can just be dropped in the install directory. A configuration tool is part of the software. You can use several instances of every plugin. This code is rapidly becoming more stable, however documentation has not been completed. WT is already used in critical situations with success. *** backup plugin : This plugin allows you to agglomerate and compress a list of paths and files. A tar file will be created, containing all the specified directories and files, keeping the directory structure. Basically, you can tar some parts of your web tree very easily. *** htpwd plugin: This plugin allows you you have a list of .htpassword files and to edit them easily. You can add/remove users, change their passwords. You can view the .htpassword file, or just browse it.
