Cloud Commander

What Cloud Commander is

Cloud Commander is a free, open-source web file manager for managing servers, files, directories, and programs in a browser. It has two classic panels, with an option to switch to one panel for smaller screens or through configuration. File operations include viewing, editing, copying, moving, renaming, uploading, and downloading, plus packing and extracting archives. Its viewer displays images and text files and plays audio and video. Three built-in editors—Dword, Edward, and Deepword—include syntax highlighting. Dropbox integration supports basic file and directory creation, removal, renaming or moving, viewing, and editing, but does not provide remote console or terminal access or operation-progress display. The project documents installation through npm and deployment as a Docker container or Docker Compose service. It can also be used as middleware in Node.js applications based on Socket.IO and Express. Authorization is optional; configuration stores a password hash rather than a plain-text password. SSL can be configured through an Nginx reverse proxy. The terminal is disabled and not installed by default; enabling it requires installing gritty and configuring its path. Cloud Commander is available under the MIT License.
