File Manager

File Manager

The File Manager (vPanel → Files) is a full-featured way to manage your account's files directly in the browser — no FTP needed. Every operation runs as your account user and is strictly confined to your home directory.

What you can do

Browse folders, create and edit files, and perform all the usual operations: new file, new folder, rename, move, copy, change permissions (chmod), compress, extract, delete, upload and download.

Uploads up to 500 MB

Uploads are handled with a memory-efficient transport that streams files to disk, so you can upload files up to 500 MB. Each upload shows a per-file percentage progress bar.

Note: a large upload needs roughly its own size in free space in your account home during the transfer.

Downloads

Downloads stream a private staged copy and show a real percentage as they progress, working reliably for files of any size up to 500 MB.

Progress on every action

A progress strip appears for all operations — listing, creating, renaming, moving, copying, chmod, compress, extract and delete — so you always see what is happening.

Keyboard shortcuts

The File Manager is fully keyboard-driven:

  • ↑ / ↓ — move selection
  • Home / End — jump to first / last item
  • Enter — open a folder or edit a file
  • Backspace — go up a folder
  • Space — toggle selection
  • Delete — delete selected
  • F2 — rename
  • Ctrl/Cmd + A — select all
  • Esc — clear selection

Shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in a field or when a dialog is open.

Deleting is safe

Deleting shows a proper "Are you sure?" confirmation (Enter to confirm, Esc to cancel), for both single and multi-item deletes.

Security

All paths are confined to your account home with traversal and symlink checks, and every file operation runs as your account user. There is nothing you can do in the File Manager that reaches outside your own account.
