PSA: The file browser plugin can't move files (you need to copy, paste, and go back and delete the original file). You can't select multiple files without a keyboard.

These all sound like tasks a real sysadmin wouldn't attempt. File browser on a server? Use mv and you can move as many files as you want, sure you'd need a keyboard but I don't see how I would do it with mouse only. Right-click and select multiple? I don't know but it's not a feature I'd even thought of.

Cockpit is great to get a quick glance at the state of servers, but for actual work the terminal is more convenient. Appreciate it for what it is and don't expect a full desktop environment to be included.

It changes permissions nicely and it's nice for my Fedora NAS Jellyfin Torrent server management. It comes preinstalled. Everything that I listed would make the software better.
