File Manager

The File Manager provides a web-based file browser for managing server files directly from your browser — no SSH or FTP required.

File Browsing

Navigate your server’s file system with an explorer-style interface:

• Directory tree — click folders to navigate, use the breadcrumb bar to jump to parent directories, or type a path directly
• File details — each entry shows name, size, permissions, owner, and last modified date
• Batch selection — select multiple files and folders for bulk operations

File Operations

Operation	Description
Create folder	Create new directories at any path
Rename	Rename files and folders inline
Upload	Drag-and-drop or file picker, supports multiple files with per-file progress
Download	Single-click download for individual files
Delete	Remove files and directories (with confirmation)
Set permissions	Change file permissions using chmod (e.g., 755, 644)

Built-in Editor

Edit files directly in the browser with syntax highlighting for common formats:

• Configuration files (.conf, .ini, .env, .toml, .yaml)
• Web files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
• Shell scripts, Go, Python, PHP
• JSON, XML

Tip: The built-in editor is ideal for quick config edits. For larger editing tasks, use the Web Terminal with your preferred editor (vim, nano).

Compress and Extract

The File Manager supports creating and extracting archives:

Creating Archives

1. Select one or more files or directories
2. Choose Compress
3. The selected items are packaged into an archive

Extracting Archives

1. Select a compressed file
2. Choose Extract
3. Contents are extracted to the target directory

Note: The File Manager respects Linux file permissions. Operations that the Web.Casa process user cannot perform will return an appropriate error message. Verify the process user has the necessary read/write access to the target paths.
