Hey, selfhosters, are you running any web based file browsers on your servers? I mostly need to quickly move or delete a dir containing some music or photos from my phone (while sitting... you know where 😅). Looking for recommendations.

Why not run samba on the server? Any device (phone or computer) can mount a remote samba filesystem.

Easier, better UX more secure than any file browser on a webserver.

Thanks. It will likely be easiest to do with Samba. Going for it 🚀

Web based file browsers introduce huge security concerns. It's better to get familiar with ssh

"rm -r ~\directory-to-be-removed"

"mv ~\path\to\dir ~\path\to\new\destination"

Practice in a test folder to make sure you understand the commands. (rm -r can be dangerous as there is no undelete)
