cPWebDisk

Manage Your Server Files Directly From Your Pocket

Stop waiting for a desktop session just to fix a misconfigured .htaccess or upload a critical plugin update. cPWebDisk by cPanel Inc. turns your Android device into a direct file management terminal for your cPanel-hosted websites. No FTP client, no SSH tunnel, no clunky third-party bridge—just a direct, authenticated connection to your server’s file system. Whether you are a system administrator handling emergency edits or a developer deploying hotfixes on the go, this tool eliminates the gap between spotting a problem and solving it.

Core File Management Capabilities

The application establishes a secure, API-driven link to your cPanel account, granting you granular control over the directory structure of every domain, subdomain, and addon domain you manage. Navigation mimics a desktop file manager with a responsive, touch-optimized interface. Tap through directories, long-press for context actions, and swipe to queue operations. The tool supports recursive folder uploads, batch file permission changes, and direct in-app editing of source code files. You can also extract archives, compress directories on the server, and move assets between public_html and private folders without downloading anything to your device.

• Direct cPanel API Authentication – Log in using your cPanel username and password or API token. The app validates credentials against your server’s live API, ensuring no third-party server proxies or intermediate storage of your access data.
• Full File System Tree with Context Actions – Browse every folder from the root of your home directory to the deepest subdirectory. Long-press any file or folder to access Rename, Copy, Move, Delete, Change Permissions, and Edit in a single pop-up menu.
• Built-in Code Editor with Syntax Highlighting – Edit PHP, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and plain text files directly. The editor includes line numbers, undo/redo history, and a save function that writes changes straight to the server file.

Key Operational Advantages Over FTP and Web-Based File Managers

cPWebDisk eliminates the latency and security risks of traditional FTP clients. Every operation runs over HTTPS using the same API your cPanel dashboard uses, meaning no open ports beyond 443 and no plain-text credential transmission. The app also maintains a persistent session token, so you can switch between editing files and checking email without re-authenticating. For administrators managing multiple cPanel accounts, the app stores multiple server profiles with separate credentials, allowing instant switching between client sites without logging out.

• Instant Permission Correction – Change file or folder permissions to 644, 755, 777, or custom octal values with one tap. No need to remember chmod syntax or navigate terminal menus.
• Archive and Extract Operations – Create .zip archives of entire directories for backup, or extract uploaded archives directly into public_html. The app streams archive operations through the server’s CPU, not your device’s storage.
• Multi-Account Profile Switching – Save connection details for up to ten different cPanel accounts. Switch between profiles via a dropdown menu on the main screen—ideal for agencies or freelancers with multiple clients.
