Managing Files with the File Manager

This guide shows you how to easily manage files and folders on your server using the built-in File Manager in the OXY.Games control panel.

Note: The File Manager is useful for smaller tasks such as viewing, editing, or quickly uploading files.

For larger files or more advanced management, we recommend using an SFTP client like FileZilla.
