Manage File/Data without Control Panel with AccuWeb.Cloud Platform

AccuWeb.Cloud offers a Configuration File Manager, which allows you to manage all the files in a container. It allows you to easily and quickly apply common configurations to your nodes through a user-friendly interface in your browser without needing an SSH connection for most operations.

To open the Configuration Manager, go to the node server and click on the Config button.

When you click on it, the Configuration Manager window will open in the middle of the dashboard.

In the Configuration Manager window, you will see the following sections:

• Root (File Manager): It provides you access to the container’s local filesystem, from where you can manage different settings within your app’s configuration files.
• Mount Points: A list of folders stored on the remote node but that can be used on the current node.
• Exports: A list of folders shared with other nodes. These files are saved locally but are also available on another environment of the same AccuWeb.Cloud account.
• Favorites: List of Files and folders you’ve marked as favorites for quick and easy access.

Working with File Manager

The AccuWeb.Cloud has a built-in file manager that provides easy and convenient access to your container files, allowing you to perform most common operations directly through the dashboard.

When you click on the Root section of the Config Manager, you will see the file system tree on the right side of the screen, with the path string and an expandable list of Actions for the current directory in the tools pane.

You can switch between directories by clicking on any folder in the path.

You can also manually specify the target location by typing it in the input field that appears when you click on the empty space in the path bar.

Modify the files from the Configuration File Manager

Each opened file (double-click it or select the Open action) will appear in a separate sub-tab, allowing you to switch between files without closing the previous ones. This makes it easier to explore the file system.

To simplify file management and editing, you can use the Search option available at the top panel. Just type the text you want to find, and all matches in the file will be highlighted. Additional search options include:

• Match Case: Perform a case-sensitive search.
• Regex: Use regular expressions for more specific search conditions.

After finishing your edits, click on the Save button at the top to save the changes.

If you are working with multiple nodes, you will be asked if you want to save changes only for the current instance or for all instances.
