jQuery File tree from remote Server

Question

I am implementing a file tree in my website that fetches directory information over a remote source (ssh user@remote).

Currently my web page looks like this. The file tree is supposed to be in the left marked panel.

I have used the paramiko library to fetch the current list of directories. However, I wish to display the directory information in a nice tree view format, like normal file explorers usually do.

Is there a jQuery file manager that incorporates the remote aspect? I don't wish to write an entire file tree from scratch because DRY

I have looked over jQuery file tree but it fails to achieve the remote purpose.

Any leads would be great.

What do you want? A library that do the all work for you? There is no such library like that... — Canser Yanbakan

Not to mention the animosity of your comment, it turns out that there did exist a library that solves exactly this. It is called "Fancy Tree". Today you learnt ^ — isopropylcyanide

Incase someone stumbles upon this, I finally solved it using Fancy Tree Library that has a parameter source, which I can then refer to my AJAX :)

$(#fancytree).fancytree({ source: { url: "refreshDirectory" }});
