DIY Approach

What If You Don't Have File & Folder Upload?

Before File & Folder Upload, this is what server management looked like. Spoiler: it wasn't fun.

Connect via SFTP

Use a separate file transfer tool.

terminal

# Using command line sftp:
sftp root@your-server-ip
# Or use FileZilla, Cyberduck, WinSCP...
# Another app to install and configure

Navigate to directory

Find the file you need.

terminal

cd /opt/apps/myapp
ls -la
# Was it config.json or config.yaml?
# .env or .env.local?

Download file

Get the file to your local machine.

terminal

get config.json
# File downloaded to current directory
# Now find it in your Downloads folder...

Edit and upload

Make changes and put it back.

terminal

# Edit locally
# Re-upload
put config.json
# Hope you didn't break the JSON syntax

No syntax validation. No backup. No undo.
