Visual File Manager for Linux Servers
Your server's filesystem as folders you click - upload, download, edit, and unzip over the SSH connection you already have. No scp flags, no separate SFTP client.
How the File Manager Works
Step 01 - File Manager
Browse.
Connect and you're already here - it's the default tab. Your server's filesystem as folders you click, not paths you type.
Step 02 - Transfer Engine
Drop.
Drag files in, pull files out, unzip archives where they sit. Progress tracked per file - cancel any time.
Step 03 - Built-in Editor
Edit.
Open nginx.conf or .env right on the server, change the line, hit Save. The download-edit-reupload loop is gone.
Retire the scp ritual.
Both sides put release.zip live in /var/www/html on the same server. One does it with flags, key hunts, and a second window. The other is the CtrlOps File Manager. Watch which one is still typing.
The old way - terminal + scp
5 commands · 1 permission error · 2 windowsCtrlOps File Manager
1 drag · 1 click · 0 commandsGo on, click around.
A working replica of the File Manager, preloaded with a Linux filesystem. Reveal the hidden .env, unzip release.zip, edit nginx.conf - or drop in a file of your own. Nothing leaves your browser.
Way more than drag and drop.
Bulk zip downloads, five layouts, folder sizes on demand - and a straight line into the AI Terminal and one-click deploys.
Move many, not one
Select a handful of files and CtrlOps compresses them into a single zip before downloading. One archive, one save dialog.
A straight line to the AI Terminal
Copy Path on any file, paste it straight into the AI Terminal - or right-click and Open in Terminal. The file manager and the AI work the same box.
Five ways to see a folder
Grid, list, compact, columns, gallery. Color-coded file cards in every one of them.
Sizes when you ask
Folder sizes compute on demand - a live spinner while it counts, the real number when it's done.
From folder to live app
The Add Application button opens the deploy form right from the toolbar - point it at a repo and this folder becomes a running app.
The boring feature everyone uses most.
What people managing real client servers say once they stop juggling a separate SFTP client.
ok so the file manager sounds boring, I know. But I was doing everything through a separate SFTP client before this. separate login, separate window, separate headache every time. now i just open it inside CtrlOps and edit configs directly. for someone managing multiple client servers, this is honestly the feature i use the most. more than the AI stuff even.
the file manager feature is the one nobody talks about but everyone needs. separate SFTP client is such a pain when you just want to edit one config file.
This gonna be the best experience for someone like me who don't like tinkering around CLIs 🫠
Been exploring the product recently, and it already includes: • AI-assisted terminal with command approval • Real-time server monitoring • SSH management • Remote file manager • Backups & automation scripts • Multi-server management • One-click GitHub deployments Everything works directly over SSH, and credentials stay local 🔐
as a solo founder wearing the devops hat, this fills a gap i didnt know i needed filled. one dashboard to rule them all.
Honestly didn't expect much. But my DevOps workflow has genuinely shifted... I'm doing in 10 minutes what used to take an hour. If you manage servers, just try it.
Your files move point to point.
One SSH connection from your machine to your server. No relay, no staging bucket, no CtrlOps cloud in the path - and your credentials stay encrypted on your device.
One hop, no relay
Files move over your SSH connection, machine to server. They are never staged on a CtrlOps server - there is nothing in the middle to breach.
Credentials stay home
SSH keys and passwords live on your device, AES-256 encrypted in the OS keychain. Nothing syncs, nothing uploads.
Root when you need it
The file manager sees exactly what your SSH user sees. Connect as root and system files like nginx.conf are one click away.
More you can do with CtrlOps.
Multi-Server Management
Your whole fleet in one app. Switch servers by alias, forget IPs, and never lose your place.
AI Terminal
Describe what you need in plain English. Review and approve every command before it runs.
Script Directory
Save the commands you retype every week, with variables filled in at run time. One click on any server.
