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

Essential File Manager for Serious WordPress Work

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
