About

The File Manager is a built-in responsive web-browser based system that allows you to edit your server’s file contents without the need for another terminal, program or local access.

It allows you to change files with a built in text editor, delete, move, compress and uncompress and more.

Features

File Manager

This image will show you the 4 primary functions of the file manager.

File manager layout

1. The filepath

   1. The file path will follow you as you drill further into the filesystem. If you click on logs for example, the filepath would then become / home / container / logs /

   2. You can click on the word to move ‘up’ in a directory.

2. The filesystem

   1. The filesystem works much like one from Microsoft’s Windows OS however there are some Linux assertions also. For the most part, it is familiar and intuitive so you don’t feel lost when navigating your files.

   2. You can use the meatballs button to perform further actions like renaming a file.

   3. The filesystem also allows you to perform bulk actions, however be mindful to not accidentally delete all of your data!

   4. You can also mark files for quick access to easily access them later. This is best used for files hidden deep in folders saving you time trying to locate them after the first time. (more about quick access in step 4.)

      1. Our servers include some default quick access files we anticipate you will use reguarly.
         

         
         
         

3. The action buttons

   1. The action buttons are self-explanatory, they include:

      1. New File - Create a new file in the directory you are currently in

      2. New Folder - Create a new folder in the directory you are currently in

      3. Upload - Upload a file from your PC to the directory you are currently in

      4. Search - Our search feature is advanced, but simple. You can search any keyword you want and it will return a result not only of folder or file names, but also keywords from inside a file. (case-sensitive)
         

         
         
         

      5. Clone (Git) - You can enter a Repository and Branch to clone your files to on your own Github Repository

      6. Pull (Git) - Pull the latest changes of the repository in the current directory.

4. The quick access menu

   Did you know! That most of our game offerings include some quick access options by default.

   1. The quick access menu is a simple list of files you can jump to.

      1. Click the file in the list to ‘open’ it without needing to navigate your file structure

      2. Click the star to ‘unstar’ an item from the menu
