Explorer and File Editing
Browsing remote files in Explorer
Use the Explorer to navigate folders, open files, manage tabs, and keep orientation on remote servers.
How the Explorer works
Explorer loads the active connection root path and lets you open files directly into editor tabs. Open Editors, Outline, Timeline, and NPM Scripts appear below the main file tree when available.
Working safely in large trees
On shared or multi-site servers, confirm the root path and folder names before editing anything. A few extra seconds of orientation prevents editing the wrong site or environment.
File types
Text and code files open in Monaco. Images open as previews. PDFs and unsupported binary files open in guarded preview states so you do not end up reading corrupted binary data as text.
