The File Manager

Files (in the main navigation) is a full remote file browser for a server — not scoped to one app's directory, but the whole filesystem, over the same SSH connection everything else uses.

Browsing

1. Pick a server.
2. Navigate via quick-jump shortcuts, the breadcrumb, or by typing an absolute path directly.

Opening and editing

• Click a text file to open it in a built-in editor — edit and save directly.
• Click anything else (an image, a PDF, a binary) to get a preview where one makes sense, with a download option.
• Click a folder to enter it.

File operations

• Upload a file from your own machine into the current directory.
• Download any file back to your machine.
• Create a folder, rename, or delete — DeployOS uses its own in-app prompt for these (not your OS's native dialogs), since it needs to run with sudo on the server's side to reach files outside your SSH user's own permissions.

When to use this vs. other tools

• Editing a config file, grabbing a log file that isn't in the Logs tab, or poking around a directory structure → Files.
• Running an actual command → Console or Terminal.
• Editing an app's own environment variables → Environment Variables & Secrets, not the filesystem directly (those are kept out of plaintext files on purpose).
