[FEATURE]: file upload, download and delete in the file manager #39878
Feature request: file upload, download and delete in the file manager
I have checked existing issues and feature requests and this is not a duplicate.
Problem
The web app's file browser currently only supports reading, listing and finding files. There is no way to add a file to a project from the browser, download a file to the local machine, or remove a file from the tree. Users have to resort to the terminal or an external editor.
Proposed solution
Add upload, download and delete actions across the file manager surfaces:
Upload a file to the project directory from the session header, the file browser empty state, and the file manager panel (button picker + drag & drop).
Download any file from the file tree, the search-results list, and the file manager panel.
Delete a file or directory with an inline confirmation dialog.
Server/API
New endpoints in the server.fs group:
GET /api/fs/download/* — streams a file as an attachment (raw bytes, so it is excluded from the generated client like fs.read).
POST /api/fs/upload?path=...&location[directory]=... — base64 payload, returns 204.
POST /api/fs/delete?path=...&location[directory]=... — returns 204.
Path containment is enforced on the server for all three operations (including symlink resolution for write/remove).
Client
The vendored SDK does not expose these operations yet, so the app calls the endpoints directly through a shared helper (packages/app/src/utils/file-transfer.ts), with Basic auth for remote servers and i18n labels for all supported locales.
Notes
New i18n keys session.files.* added and translated in all 18 locales.
Generated client files updated via bun run generate (the files group now exposes upload/delete).
