  Description     : Cockpit component for file management
The Cockpit Web Console enables users to administer GNU/Linux servers using a web browser.
.
This package adds an user interface for managing, uploading, and downloading
files, with a similar experience as a desktop file manager.



This is a relatively new Cockpit component, which quickly gained popularity and
interest in the Fedora community, and recently became an official package:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=cockpit-files

I'll maintain this as part of the existing cockpit, cockpit-machines, and
cockpit-podman source package collection. The upstream projec already has
Debian packaging: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-files/tree/main/packaging/debian
Changes to it get tested upstream in CI on all supported Debian releases, I'll
enable Ubuntu soon as well.
