As of Oracle Linux 9.5, a file browser add-on package is available for the Cockpit web console. The file browser provides a graphical interface for managing files and directories on the server. You can interact with the file browser in many of the same ways you would interact with the file browser in a graphical desktop environment: create directories, rename and delete files, copy and paste files, and bookmark favorite directories. The file browser complements the user and group management tasks you might perform in Cockpit, with graphical controls for viewing and changing file permissions. However, the file browser is limited to browsing and management operations, and can't execute or open files.

Before you can use the graphical file browser in the Cockpit web console, install the cockpit-files add-on application.
