Thanks for the suggestion! 💚 After reviewing it, we won’t be moving forward right now, but we genuinely appreciate the input.
Thank you for the suggestion!
At the moment we intentionally do not provide a web-based FTP/file manager and instead require customers to use a dedicated FTP client to access their server files.
There are several reasons for this decision:
1. Reliability and stability Dedicated FTP clients (such as FileZilla, WinSCP, etc.) are specifically designed to handle large transfers, interrupted connections, and bulk file operations. Browser-based file managers are significantly more limited and tend to be less reliable when uploading many files or larger game server files.
2. Performance for large uploads Game servers often require uploading large modpacks, maps, or many small files at once. FTP clients handle these operations much more efficiently with features like transfer queues, resume support, parallel uploads, and better error handling.
3. Security and resource considerations A web-based file manager capable of editing, uploading, downloading, and browsing files would require additional server-side processing and security controls. Restricting file access to standard FTP/SFTP clients helps us keep the environment more secure and stable for all users.
4. Full feature support FTP clients provide advanced capabilities such as drag-and-drop uploads, directory syncing, transfer retries, permission management, and better visibility of transfer status—features that are difficult to replicate well in a browser interface.
Because of these factors, we currently recommend using a proper FTP client for file management. It ensures more stable uploads and a better experience when managing game server files.
That said, we appreciate the feedback and will keep the request in mind as we evaluate potential future improvements to the panel.
