Hi everyone,
I’ve been managing several virtual servers using Virtualmin, and I’ve run into an issue where the File Manager disappears for some virtual servers. This is problematic for users who rely on it to manage files without needing FTP or SSH access.
I wanted to open a discussion to see how others handle this, and maybe compile best practices for keeping the File Manager consistently available.
Some questions for the community:
Has anyone else experienced the File Manager disappearing in Virtualmin?
Could this be linked to server templates, permissions, or the “Website Enabled” feature?
What are the most reliable methods to prevent this issue for all virtual servers?
Are there any safe workarounds or configuration tweaks that have worked for you?
How do you ensure less technical users still have secure access to file management tools?
I’d really appreciate it if anyone could share experiences, step-by-step fixes, or suggestions — it would help a lot of admins dealing with similar issues.
Thanks in advance!
