То что надо
Так как я занимаюсь поддержкой сайта и вход на хостинг затруднителен – надо ждать смс владельцу, работа с файлами сайта из админки – отличное решение. Спасибо за удобство

Filester has become one of the few plugins I install almost by default. It provides a full graphical file management interface right inside the WordPress dashboard, so I can work with my site’s files
It just works 😌
It has all the features you’d come to expect from a premium file manager and, guess what? Without a paywall! Kudos to the developers for empowering open source 👏
