Introducing Our New Web-Based File Manager

We’re excited to announce that InfinityFree now features a brand-new, custom-built file manager!

iFastNet has developed this in-house solution from the ground up, focusing on delivering all the essential file management functionality you need in a clean, intuitive, and reliable interface.

All links to MonstaFTP have now been replaced with this new file manager, and MonstaFTP will be shut down in the next few days.

We Want Your Feedback! All core features have been thoroughly tested, but we’d love to hear about your experience. How is it working for you? Are there features you’d like to see added? Your input helps us make it even better.

So far, looking OK.

I can already tell you, some of the work looks like it wasn’t from iFastNet directly, if you know what I mean. But for being a replacement to MonstaFTP, I’d use this all the time (if I don’t have the ability to use FileZilla)

I can say, before using the preview feature, I see this:

But if I go into the HTML editor and I click Preview, exiting the editor it changes to this:

Not good.

Also, the old problem of “Credentials in a URL” is now present again. Not really a good idea to bring it back at all.

In the end, besides the issues, it’s better than MonstaFTP and if I couldn’t use FileZilla I’d use it.

I will say that I am not a fan of the function key layout (including the colored buttons on the bottom), or the use of AI on that introductory page. Mobile support is also not the greatest. Here’s to hoping improvements are ongoing!

EDIT:

Also, dark mode editor should be default since the rest is in dark mode. Dark mode does not actually make everything dark mode, just some of it. Fullscreen button does not work on mobile, and sometimes makes the layout switch to something even worse. Not sure what the preview or mini map buttons are supposed to do, neither has an immediate identifiable function. Navigating to long file paths basically hides all the upper functions. Horizontal scroll, overlapping tap fields, all seem to exist on mobile.

All-in-all, it seems like a more functional version of Monsta, however the UI is quite bad, especially on mobile.

I think AI was used on more than the introductory page/window.

Looks good.

Does the advice remain the same to mainly use FTP? Or is the new online file manager goingto become the recomended tool?

Looks like if you click on a folder too quickly the system just freaks out, for example if you click on “example.com” 3 times before the file manager responds, it will navigate to example.com/example.com/example.com

Still having a long way to go…

this is the most ai thing that i have ever seen, i prefer old crappy one cuz the old design look not ai
(btw how to make my own version of this?)

edit: oh my dear of god, this is so bad how tf ifastnet think this look good? it is usabe but just so horrible, i can definally make a better version of this ui on gemini and it will look more professional, not this piece of claude thing, claude only good if you already create figma design, not text to design, this is just big pile of :poop:, i hope admin can give user an option to choose old or new file manager

UX might look AI generated, but it works better than MonstaFTP right now.

I prefer the MonstaFTP look too, but I also prefer to have things that work. MonstaFTP doesn’t work.

I think PHP has an FTP library to work with. If you know how to code, maybe you could make your own client.

Also admin, please use this design Keen - Multi-demo Bootstrap 5 HTML Admin Dashboard Template by KeenThemes copy or something whatever just use this design or similar design, dont use ai

That’s iFastNet-owned, you can’t change it. I think you could make your own client and put it on a domain you own, but I don’t know if iFastNet forces MOFH users to provide their FTP client or not.

Not Admin’s fault, it’s iFastNet’s fault.

i thought admin create it, i did not read the text correctly, now it make sense, ifastnet start to using ai to code literally anything that they can think of

It won’t connect, so can’t upload anything

Can we have it so that when you click save the page stays open? (instead of showing an alert and then closing the page) Or an option to stay open. When testing new things its so much easier to save the file and then reload my webpage to see the changes.

Can we have 2 buttons? one saying “Save” ctrl-S and one saying save and close with another type of keyboard shortcut? or possibly a toggle button to allow the option to save while keeping the file open?

If you have the file on darkmode when you save and reopen the file it goes back to lightmode but the select box still says darkmode.

Very nice, although the full screen mode didn’t work for me; it just kinda made the background white. Also, for those of use with large, messy code, it would be nice to be able to collapse HTML tags and functions and whatnot.
