ISPCONFIG 3 File Manager with Pydio (8.2.5)

Introduction & Preparation

Well, I just want to refresh and create something related with my ISPConfig. I remember my old article and the idea is, to try with the new version of old version Pydio. I will be using Pydio as File Manager for my ISPConfig server.

The preparation should be still same:

1. Domain / Sub domain for File manager
2. FTP Account (this will be used as Administrator account for your File Manager)
3. Database (account, etc)
