The Files tab is a full file manager for your server’s working directory (/home/container inside the container, exposed as / in the UI).

​
What you can do

  • Navigate any directory by clicking into it. Breadcrumbs at the top take you back up.
  • Upload files via drag-and-drop or the Upload button. Large uploads are best handled over SFTP.
  • Create new files and folders with the New File / New Folder buttons.
  • Edit text files inline in a Monaco-powered editor with syntax highlighting.
  • Rename, move, copy, archive, unarchive, or delete files from the row actions.
  • Download any file directly to your machine.

​
Archives

Lumi-Panel supports creating and extracting .zip and .tar.gz archives directly from the file manager. Select files, choose Archive, and a new archive is written to the current directory.

​
Permissions

File permissions are shown next to each entry and can be edited via the row menu. For most game servers you should leave these alone unless a setup guide says otherwise.

​
Use SFTP for big jobs

The browser file manager is great for quick edits. For uploading mods, hauling logs, or syncing whole folders, use SFTP - see Settings for connection details.
Editing a config and need it to take effect? Save the file, then Restart the server from the Console. Most games only read configs at boot.
