Describe the feature

Add a way for us to connect via FTP (WinSCP)

How the feature is useful

It would be useful for devs to be able to share access to the file manager without giving direct panel access.

Nice idea, but how would minehut be able to check what is being uploaded?

I think minehut won't be able to add this until custom jars are supported.

[quick007]

use sftp instead

[ahoulton]

Yea should be SFTP then FTP for privacy reasons of files. FTP connections sound like you are wanting to be hacked, while SFTP has some sort of protection.

Bit of a side note, but this would be way easier to modify files then Minehut's own file manager due to the delay when pasting big files.

this would be epic, would allow for something like minehut-file-watcher but a lot more simple/straight forward

The SFTP server has complete control over what's being uploaded, it can look at each file, it's name, it's size, it's content, etc. It shouldn't be too difficult adding a filter to exclude jars and whatnot.

honestly I don’t t think full sftp is needed, maybe in the future though? For now the file manager should he improved by dragging folders from the file manger (and from your pc to the file manager) and renaming folders and files

Copying and moving files too

[ghost]

I hate the current Minehut file manager. It's super slow and buggy and breaks 5 times a day and... ugh. I'd love this so I don't have to upload a file to minehut through the website (especially with the adspam that the website gives me)

[basedSkeleton]

They should allow downloading and uploading of harmless file types that aren't allowed, like luckperms database files.

[drtshock]

What functionality are you looking for? While this is possible, we're also investing time in updating the file manager itself.

[honkling]

Personally, I want the ability to copy files/folders, move files/folders, rename files/folders, and download files/folders. These are all things that SFTP clients have, but the Minehut file manager lacks.

EDIT: Less restrictions on uploading files would be great too
