File Manager

File Manager

The built-in file manager lets you browse, edit, and organize your server files without leaving the panel. It works directly in your browser and requires no additional software.

Browsing Files

The file manager displays your server’s directory structure in a familiar layout. Double-click on a folder to navigate into it, and use the breadcrumb navigation at the top to move back up. Files show their name, size, and last modified date.

Editing Files

Double-click on any text file to open it in the built-in editor. The editor supports syntax highlighting for common formats like .yml, .json, .properties, and .txt. Make your changes and click Save to write them back to the server.

Common files you might edit:

• server.properties — Core Minecraft server settings
• config.yml — Plugin configurations
• Game-specific configuration files

Uploading Files

Drag and drop files from your computer into the file manager to upload them. You can upload individual files or multiple files at once. For large uploads (world saves, mod packs), consider using SFTP instead for better speed and reliability.

Creating Files and Folders

Use the New File and New Folder buttons to create items in the current directory. This is handy for creating configuration files or organizing your server structure.

Downloading and Deleting

Right-click a file or use the action menu to download or delete it. Be careful when deleting — removed files cannot be recovered unless you have a backup.

When to Use SFTP Instead

The browser-based file manager works well for quick edits and small uploads. For larger tasks — uploading a 2 GB mod pack, downloading a full world save, or transferring many files at once — SFTP is the better choice. Your SFTP credentials are shown on the Overview page of your server in the right sidebar, including host, port (2022), username, and password.
