File Manager
Browse, edit, upload, and manage server files in-browser.
File Manager
The file manager provides browser-based access to server files through the daemon’s file API.

Path Safety
All file paths are validated:
- No null bytes
- No path traversal (
..) - Filenames cannot contain
/or\
Permissions
Sub-users need:
files.read(list and read files)files.write(write, delete, rename, create directories)
File Upload
File uploads go through the browser to the daemon. The panel proxies the request. Upload size is limited by the uploadLimit setting (default 100MB).
Git Pull
If the server directory is a git repository, the pull operation fetches and merges the latest changes from the remote. This is useful for servers that track their configuration in git.
SFTP
Servers also support SFTP access. Each server can have SFTP credentials managed through the SftpCredential model. SFTP runs on the node’s SFTP port (default 3003).
See the SFTP module (src/modules/user/sftp.ts) for SFTP credential management.
