Following instructions from the current Readme, using this URL through webmin interface (Centos 6):
https://github.com/Real-Gecko/filemin/raw/master/distrib/filemin-0.9.6.linux.wbm.gz
I get :
Failed to install package : Not a valid compressed or gzipped RPM file
Howdy,
That does look like the correct URL.
Can you describe the process you’re using to install that into Webmin?
-Eric
This file is intended to be installed from Webmin interface.
I currently do not provide RPM packages, cause it needs operational CentOS or RedHat that I do not have.
My dev box is Debian that’s why I have deb package as a bonus.
Number of entries?
Please fill new issue here
https://github.com/Real-Gecko/filemin/issues
So I will not forget to do it for the next release.

Ok installing as a RPM by URL was the issue. downloading the file and uploading as a local file solved the issue.
Many thanks
I had to install it by using the .tar.gz link under the Releases tab on GitHub. I would go to Webmin > Webmin Configuration > Webmin Modules > Installation and then I tried “From ftp or http URL”, “From local file”, and “From uploaded file” but would get the errors below (again, same error using all three methods of installing).
“Failed to install module from /webmin-filemin_0.9.6_all.deb : Not a valid module file : tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors”
and
“Failed to install module from /filemin-0.9.6.linux.wbm.gz : Not a valid module file : gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now”
There might be some issue with the 0.9.6 .wbm.gz and .deb versions because using the .tar.gz under Releases works fine.
But there is still a problem beyond that, but I’m not sure who this is attributed to. Using the Authentic theme, once Filemin’s been successfully installed, I go into Filemin, click a folder, but nothing happens. It just greys out and hangs. Switching to the default theme does alleviate the issue, so I’m not sure which is causing the issue. Is it not working well with Authentic or vice versa? Despite Authentic’s stated increased support for it, even after v15.51, Filemin isn’t working right for me.
What browser are you using? Did you clear cache after installing theme, restarted Webmin and browser?
It was tested and it just works.
Using Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Edge. Cleared cache. Restarted Webmin service. Nothing’s changed.
Hi there! Well I even restarted to Windows 10 to test it in all mentioned browsers - all works fine! Even ancient Opera version 15 and IE 11 and capricious Edge goes fine with Filemin + AJAX as well.
Please try to make sure that everything is alright on your side. There would be many people complains if it was the real bug.
In case you can’t figure this out, please make video screenshot, with opened console (preferably in Chrome), so I could understand what is happening.
Try reinstalling the Theme and Filemin, making sure that you are really using the latest version. Also check that you have updated your Webmin to the latest.
…and you’re getting this error when installing the module as you feed to Webmin not the destination URL but GitHub page.
To get the link, when you on that page which you were trying to paste to Webmin, you need to right click on RAW and copy the link URL, then use that direct link.
https://github.com/authentic-theme/authentic-theme/raw/master/.build/authentic-theme-15.51.wbt.gz
https://github.com/Real-Gecko/filemin/raw/master/distrib/webmin-filemin_0.9.6_all.deb
https://github.com/Real-Gecko/filemin/raw/master/distrib/filemin-0.9.6.linux.wbm.gz
https://github.com/Real-Gecko/filemin/raw/master/distrib/filemin-0.9.6.freebsd.wbm.gz
That worked. Thank you so much! I’m not sure if it was an Authentic upgrade gone wrong (I’ve had it installed since v8, so maybe somewhere along the lines?). Nevertheless, re-adding Authentic with the provided link, then using the second Filemin link worked (first brought up an error). But, all is working now and I’m very happy. Thank you!
Good to know! 
You’re welcome.
Howdy,
I am not sure if I am missing something, but when logged with user (domain owner) I can’t find the filemin.
Is there any option in webmin/virtualmin to enable filemin for domain owners ?
Yes, you need to grant access to the module in Webmin configuration.
It will be in Webmin - Other - Filemin File Manager. Sometimes domain owners do not see Webmin menu while in Virtualmin. Will try to make link to module appear in Virtualmin menu in next release.
Thank you , I found how to manage this. Alas, I couldn’t find an automatic way to do this.
When I allow some user to access filemin module by default he accesses filesystem as root. This can be changed of course, but it is not very convenient to do this manually for every user.
Great file manager, I am waiting the next version! Keep up the good work!
You can create Webmin group, setup module ACL, and make every new user part of that group. This will apply desired settings to all of them. Note that individ user settings prevail over group settings.
Hi, thanks for creating Filemin - I was getting really fed up with having to switch back to IE every time I wanted to move a file.
I have a number of files that I cannot move or copy with Filemin but I can with Webmin standard file manager.
The error message is:
[destination path] moving file failed with error: No such file or directory
Both the source and the destination are 777 and I have ownership of both. I am logging in to Webmin as a user with permission to run as root. I’m running Ubuntu 14.04
Thanks
If you’re using Authentic theme update it to the latest release, it had an issue with AJAXification of Filemin. If not then send me your .buffer file that is in your $HOME/.filemin directory. If you work as root it must be /root/.filemin/.buffer I presume.
Thanks for the quick response.
I’ve tried with a number of different themes and Authentic is at latest version - all give the same error. It seems to be running as root as that’s where the buffer file was.
Contents are nothing more than:
cut
/data/temp
Name of folder I’m attempting to move
That bit above is supposed to be on 3 lines, can’t seem to make it format properly!
There are no special characters in the folder name, just upper and lower case alpha.
That’s odd. I cannot reproduce the thing. What happens if you log in through ssh and try mv /data/temp/mycoolfolda /root/new/destination?
