Files, terminal and SFTP

File manager

Files browses an app user's home: create folders, edit text files, upload and download, rename and delete. Everything happens as that app user, never as root, so files keep the right owner and nothing outside the home folder is reachable.

Text files open in a code editor with syntax highlighting for the usual languages (C#, TypeScript, JSON, YAML, .env and ini files, shell, …). Review changes shows your edits side by side with the file as it is on disk before you save; Ctrl+S (or ⌘S) saves.

Terminal

Terminal opens a shell in the browser as an app user — a real terminal, so editors and Ctrl+C work. The owner can also open a root shell after confirming their second factor (unless the server was installed with --no-root-terminal).

SFTP accounts

For uploading game assets with FileZilla or WinSCP, create an SFTP account on the SSH page: it can log in with a password or a key, sees only one folder (for example the assets site's folder), and can't run commands or open tunnels. Uploads belong to the app — the account acts as the app's user inside that folder — so the site serves them right away.

Files uploaded with "only me" permissions (mode 600) can't be read by the web server; most clients upload as readable by everyone, which is what you want for assets.
