How to Use the Built-in File Manager

ValueGameNode 59

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

  1. Log in to the VGN Game Panel.
  2. Select your server.
  3. 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.properties or 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.gz or .zip file. 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.
