      Hi,
      Is there a way to create symlinks for these app folders?
      It does take a lot of time figuring out which app is which while I have several LAMP apps running...

        @austin Yes, this should be a new feature request where the friendly name of the App in the UI is the name used for the symlinks and kept updated through name/domain changes.

          This was indeed discussed a few times and is technically very much doable. However usually we try to not expose such structure and technical detail to the users as it makes it hard for us to make changes in those underlying systems if we know users rely on them. Ideally we have a more high level abstraction for such and in this case I would first like to understand why you are trying to access the files like this in the first place? Does the sftp, filemanager or webterminal not work?

          (the issues around creating such symlinks will be a more obvious when we have multiserver where such local filesystems will change a lot)

            @nebulon I use FileZilla to upload some custom scripts to a LAMP app and have trouble finding the right app, so I thought at least create symlinks so I don't have to go around and figure which app is which.

              @austin You could (and probably should) use FileZilla with the app's own SFTP then. Should be much easier than going through the root server.

                  FileZilla has a Site Manager (File -> Site Manager). You can create named sites.
