Arwo is a web application hosted in the Apache Tomcat web container. It is designed to provide for easy web access to remote servers. Its features include:
- browse the filesystems of SSH servers
- browse the filesystems of CIFS servers
- browse the filesystems of WebDAV servers
- run SQL commands on JDBC servers
- run shell commands on SSH servers
- run shell commands on Windows machines (using DCOM)
- send emails using SMTP servers
- view recent messages on IMAP email servers
- view recent messages on POP3 email servers
- manage server connections
- store "favorite" filesystem locations and commands for later use
- schedule accesses to filesystem resources (folders / files)
- schedule execution of server commands
Arwo uses additional open-source libraries internally to interface to different server types. For each server type to be accessed, the appropriate library / libraries should be separately downloaded.
More information about the usage of these libraries can be found on the webapp "Usage" page here.
To use the webapp, a version of the Java runtime is needed, as well as a version of the Tomcat web container. Once these are available, the webapp should be installed into the Tomcat container. You would then navigate a web browser to the landing page of the webapp in the running Tomcat instance and authenticate to the application.
Because of Tomcat classloader requirements, a standalone JAR needs to be copied into the Tomcat library folder to provide the implementation of the webapp authentication realm.
More information is provided on the webapp "Usage" page.

A debt of gratitude is owed to those responsible for the development of the server access libraries. Without their efforts, much of the functionality of this webapp would not be possible.
