Server Files and Directories

To manage files and directories anywhere on the server, use the
pm_ServerFileManager
class. This class enables you to perform the same operations as the
pm_FileManager class, but is applied in relation to server files. In
particular, it lets you create and remove files and directories, check
for existence of files and directories, read and write data to files,
and also change file and directory permissions (only on Linux).

Descriptions and usage examples for some of the methods can be found
below.
