Solid Plugin

This is a solid and useful free plugin. It does have a bug in the editor when trying to click into the file to make changes.

Just like a cpanel

Great time saver. No longer have to use FTP or go to host’s cpanel.

Very Handy Tool

Really useful plugin tbh. I use it to access files quickly from the dashboard without opening FTP every time. UI is simple & works smoothly. Saved me a lot of time. tnkz to the devs for this 👍
