Brand New Features

This redesigned panel is streamlined for efficiency and convenience. The left-hand panel allows you to quickly look through directories, including different Server Profile. This means you can view everything from one page, rather than having to constantly go back and forth. Open up a folder, view its contents, close it back up, rinse and repeat. On top of that, you get access to new hotkeys and quick actions. These include:
- Double Click: Open and edit a file directly in the panel.
- Drag & Drop: Move files and folders within the file tree.
- Drag Files: Upload files from your computer into the server.
- Right-click: Access additional options for files or folders.
- Ctrl / Cmd + S: Save your changes when editing a file.
- Ctrl / Cmd + Click: Select multiple files and folders at once.
⚠️ If you want to use the old panel, click ‘Return to old view’ in the bottom right.
Easier File Options
Instead of having file options at the top of the screen, it’s now easily accessible by right-clicking any file or folder in the new FTP panel. Whether you want to create a file, compress multiple files, or delete configs, these options make it easier.
- New File: Create a blank new file in the current directory.
- New Folder: Create a new directory for organizing files.
- Rename: Change the name of a file or folder.
- Delete: Permanently remove a file or folder.
- Compress: Bundle multiple files/folders into a .zip archive.
- File Info: View file properties such as size and modification date.
- Download: Save a copy of the selected file/folder to your computer.
- Extract Here: Unzip contents into the current directory.
