The Remote Server Browse button in the web interface gives you direct access to interact with files and folders on the Remote Server through the underscore folder.

This is useful prior to setting up a Remote Mount or a Remote Sync as it allows you to see the file system layout on the remote system. You can easily create and modify remote folders prior to using them as a source or destination for a Remote Mount or Remote Sync.

Default Folder in Web Interface

For most types of remote servers, browsing the server will display the root folder of the selected remote server. For FTP or SFTP remote servers, the default home folder defined on the remote server will be automatically detected, and browsing will start from that folder. If you have access to other folders on that remote server, you can navigate to them in the usual ways.

Supported Operations

The remote server browser has most of the capabilities of the file manager.

Typical file and folder operations are supported, such as copy, move, rename, and delete. You will need to have the appropriate permissions on the remote server to perform these actions.

Point-In-Time Browsing

Some types of remote server may also support our point-in-time browsing feature, which can be used to recover previous versions of files.

Unsupported Operations

Sharing, setting permissions, and configuring folder settings are not allowed in the remote server browser. For these file manager capabilities, use a Remote Mount to mount the remote folder instead.
