The VGN Game Panel includes a powerful web-based File Manager, allowing you to manage your server files directly from your browser without needing external software.
Accessing the File Manager
- Log in to the VGN Game Panel.
- Select your server.
- Click on File Manager in the left-hand sidebar.
Creating and Uploading Files
- Upload: Drag and drop files directly from your computer into the browser window, or click the Upload button.
- New File: Click New File to create a text file (like
server.propertiesor a configuration file) directly in the editor. - New Folder: Use the Create Directory button to organize your files.
Editing Files
- Simply click on any text-based file (e.g.,
.txt,.yml,.json,.properties) to open the built-in code editor. - After making changes, click Save Content at the bottom.
Managing Existing Files
Right-click on any file or folder (or use the three-dot menu) to access these actions:
- Rename: Change the name of a file or folder.
- Move: Move files into different directories.
- Archive (Compress): Select multiple files and click Archive to create a
.tar.gzor.zipfile. This is useful for moving many files at once. - Unarchive: Right-click a compressed file and select Unarchive to extract it.
- Download: Save a file to your local computer.
- Delete: Permanently remove a file or folder.
Important Note on File Limits
For very large files (e.g., world saves over 100MB), we recommend using SFTP (via WinSCP or FileZilla) for a more stable connection.
