Deploy Cloud Commander in 30 Seconds
A web-based file manager with a built-in terminal and code editor. Manage your server's files, edit code, and run commands - all from the browser.
What is Cloud Commander?
Cloud Commander is an open-source, web-based file manager that puts a full dual-panel file browser, a built-in console, and a text editor right in your browser. Copy and move files, upload and download, edit code with syntax highlighting, and run shell commands - without ever opening an SSH client.
Built on Node.js and licensed under MIT, Cloud Commander gives you a desktop-grade file manager that runs on your own Linux server. Your files stay on your infrastructure, the console talks to a real shell, and the keyboard-driven interface keeps you fast. With around 2,000 GitHub stars, it is a proven, lightweight tool for managing servers from anywhere.
Why Cloud Commander?
Web File Manager
Copy, move, rename, upload, and download files through a clean dual-panel browser. Manage your whole server from any device.
Built-in Terminal
A full console is baked right in. Run commands against a real shell on your server without leaving the browser.
Code Editor
Edit files in place with a built-in editor featuring syntax highlighting. Tweak configs and code without downloading a thing.
Per-Pod Auth
Every pod ships behind HTTP basic auth with a unique password generated just for you. Your file manager is locked down by default.
Keyboard-Driven UI
A dual-panel layout inspired by classic commanders. Navigate, select, and act on files entirely with the keyboard.
Lightweight
A single Node process with a tiny footprint. Cloud Commander runs perfectly on our smallest $3/mo plan.
