This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/isuruilp/wp-safe-file-manager/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Readme github.com/isuruilp/wp-safe-file-manager ↗

A lightweight WordPress-admin file manager restricted to wp-content.

Installation

  1. Upload the ZIP from WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
  2. Activate "SiteShield Safe File Manager".
  3. Open Tools > File Manager.

Security

  • Requires a logged-in WordPress administrator.
  • Uses WordPress nonces for every write action.
  • Restricts access to wp-content.
  • Blocks PHP, executable, .htaccess and .user.ini uploads/creation/editing.
  • Does not use shell commands or external CDN files.

Server limits

The plugin cannot bypass upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, web-server limits, filesystem ownership, read-only hosting, or host security rules. The File Manager page displays basic compatibility values.

Use temporarily for maintenance. Deactivate and delete the plugin after finishing sensitive file work. Prefer SFTP/SSH or the hosting control-panel file manager for full server access.
