💡 File Manager in Server now supports remote files

We've added an interesting capability that might be helpful for many people:

Starting from v5.8.1, the File Manager in EasyMorph Server (the tab "Files") also supports remote locations besides the local public folder. It means you can browse, upload, and download files, create folders, etc. in remote locations such as SFTP, AWS S3 and S3-compatible, Azure Blob Storage, and all other file services supported in EasyMorph.

Here is a screenshot of the File Manager that shows browsing files stored on a Linux machine over an SFTP connector:

To use this feature, you need to configure a connector to the file service you want to access. Then use the connector in the File Manager.

Notice the grey bar with the location selector at the top of the page. It's only visible to Server users who have a role with the "Access remote locations" permission enabled. Users without this permission can't select a connector and can't access remote locations.

PS. A similar feature has been available in EasyMorph Desktop for a long time, btw.
