There's no need for anything like this in the extension manager - you
already have access to the directory structure of a given site via the
Filelist module. Try this:

1. In the Install Tool, set [BE][lockRootPath] to a value appropriate
to the highest level of the directory tree you want to be accessible.
This might be something like

/home/username/public_html/


2. In the BE, create a new record of the type 'Filemount' by clicking
on the globe icon above the root page and selecting 'New'. Give it a
name, choose the 'absolute (root) / ' radio button and type in a path
that's the same or inside the path in [BE][lockRootPath]. This might
be something like:

/home/username/public_html/typo3conf/ext/


3. In the BE select the user or group who will have access to the
filemount, and select the new filemount in the 'Filemount' section.


4. Hit the 'Filelist' module and play inside your new filemount - and
you _can_ copy and paste between filemounts.
