File manager
Browse, edit, upload and organise your server's files in the browser, without installing any extra software.
The file manager in the Pliki (Files) tab lets you change your server's files right from the client panel. It's handy for editing configuration and uploading a few files. For large files and many files at once, connecting over SFTP is faster.
Finding your way around
The client panel is available in Polish only, so this article gives its labels in Polish with a translation the first time they appear. In the client panel, open your server and go to the Pliki tab. The files are in the Menadżer WebFTP (WebFTP manager) section, below the SFTP details.
Click a folder to open it. The path above the list, such as / home / container / config, shows where you are. Click container to go back to the server's main folder.
Editing a file
Open the file
Click the file's name. The Edytuj plik (Edit file) editor opens.
Make your changes
Change the file's contents. The list next to the save button sets the syntax highlighting, such as Properties or Zwykły tekst (Plain text).
Save the file
Click Zapisz plik (Save file).
Restart the server
The server reads most configuration files only when it starts.
Creating and uploading files
The buttons above the list work in the folder you have open:
- Nowy katalog (New folder) creates a folder. Enter its name and click Stwórz (Create).
- Nowy plik (New file) opens an empty editor. Type the contents, click Stwórz plik (Create file), enter the file name and confirm.
- Wgraj plik (Upload file) uploads a file from your computer.
File actions
Click ⋯ on the right of a file to open its menu:
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Zmień nazwę (Rename) | Renames the file or folder. |
| Przenieś (Move) | Moves the file somewhere else. Enter a path relative to the open folder, such as plugins/file.jar. The panel shows Nowa lokalizacja (New location). |
| Uprawnienia (Permissions) | Sets permissions in numeric form, such as 644. |
| Kopiuj (Copy) | Makes a copy in the same folder, with copy added to the name. |
| Spakuj (Compress) | Packs the file or folder into a .tar.gz archive in the same folder. |
| Rozpakuj (Extract) | Extracts an archive into the folder it's in. It replaces Spakuj for archives. |
| Pobierz (Download) | Downloads the file to your computer. |
| Usuń (Delete) | Deletes the file or folder after you confirm. |
Folders have no Kopiuj or Pobierz item. To download a folder, compress it and download the archive.
Several files at once
Tick the checkboxes next to the files. A bar with Przenieś, Spakuj and Usuń appears at the bottom of the page, and its buttons work on every ticked file. The checkbox next to the path ticks everything in the open folder.
Common problems
Changes to a file don't take effect
The server reads most configuration files only when it starts. Restart it in the panel.
Uploading a large file takes a very long time
The file manager transfers files through your browser, so it's slow with large files and many files at once. Use a connection over SFTP instead.
An uploaded file isn't in the list
The file goes to the folder that was open while you uploaded it. Check the path above the list and open the right folder. If the file still isn't there, write to us through the contact form.
