File Manager

The File Manager allows you to manage files and directories within the /mnt mount directory. The interface is organized as two independent panels for convenient copying and moving between directories.

Background processing:

The manager uses a dedicated worker process. This means that during a long-running operation (copying, moving), you can close the tab or leave the page — the operation will continue in the background. The progress can be checked upon your return.

Core file and directory operations:

Copy – copies selected items to the target panel
Move – moves selected items to the target panel
Paste – pastes previously copied or cut items
Delete – deletes selected files and directories
Select files – allows batch selection for multiple operations
Upload to server – uploads files from your local computer to the selected directory on the server
Change permissions – manages RWX permissions and extended ACLs
Create archive – packages selected files and directories into an archive

Batch operations and downloading:

The panel supports batch selection of items to perform operations on multiple files at once. Downloading selected files from the server to your local computer is also available (detailed in the bottom).

Directory Selection Panel

This panel allows you to select a mounted disk or network resource to display its contents.

Available resources:

The dropdown list or directory tree shows all resources mounted under /mnt:

Local disks and partitions
Mounted RAID arrays
LVM volumes
Network resources (SMB/CIFS, NFS)

How it works:

When you select a resource, its contents are displayed in the file manager, after which all standard operations (copy, move, delete, change permissions, etc.) can be performed.

Important:

Only resources mounted under /mnt are displayed. If a disk or network resource is not mounted, it will not appear in the selection panel. Use the Mount Master section to mount new resources.

Search Panel

The Search Panel allows you to find files or directories within the selected resource.

Features:

Search by name – enter full or partial file/directory name
Recursive search – option to search through all nested subdirectories (including all levels of nesting)
Results display – found items are shown as a list with the path to each file or directory

How it works:

Search is performed within the currently selected directory (or across the entire mounted resource when recursive mode is enabled). Results can be viewed and you can navigate to the location of found items.

Useful for:

Quickly finding configuration files
Locating media files in deep directory structures
Searching for logs or temporary files

File Panel – File and Directory List

The main area of the file manager, displaying the contents of the current directory as a table with detailed information about each item.

Name	File or directory name (clickable for navigation)
