File Browser

The file browser lets you navigate, view, upload, and download files on your remote server via SFTP, right from the terminal view.

Opening the File Browser

While in a workspace terminal, tap the Files button in the bottom toolbar. The file browser opens as a modal sheet showing the workspace directory.

Navigation

The file browser provides an intuitive way to navigate your server's file system:

  • Breadcrumb path — Clickable path segments at the top for quick navigation to any parent directory
  • Tap folders — Navigate into subdirectories
  • Tap files — View file contents or preview

File List

Each file in the list shows:

  • Type-specific icon (folder, code file, image, document, etc.)
  • File name
  • File size
  • Last modification date

File Preview

Tapping a file opens a preview view. ServerCC supports previewing multiple file types:

  • Text/Code files — Displayed with syntax highlighting
  • Images — JPG, PNG, GIF, and other image formats with native preview
  • PDF files — Built-in PDF viewer
  • Binary files — Shows a warning for unsupported binary formats

Markdown Rendering

Markdown files (.md / .markdown) open in a rendered, GitHub-style view by default — headings, lists, tables, and code blocks all display properly formatted. A Rendered / Raw toggle at the top switches back to the plain source at any time.

Images referenced with relative paths (e.g. ./docs/screenshot.png) are fetched from the server over SFTP and displayed inline in the rendered view — so a README with screenshots reads just like it does on GitHub.

Uploading Files

Tap the Upload button in the top-right corner of the file browser to upload files from your iPhone to the server. You can select single or multiple files using the iOS file picker.

Files are uploaded to the currently viewed directory via SFTP.

Tip

The file browser works within the workspace directory context. Navigate to the specific folder where you want to upload files before starting the upload.
