Running Webmin 1.930 on Ubuntu Server 18.04.3 and when I try to perform any file operations such as cut/copy/paste/delete using the File Manager I get a "No such file or directory" error. Downgrading Webmin back to 1.920 solves the issue. Any thoughts?

I've tried clearing the browser cache, I've tried both Firefox and Chrome, I've tried it on my desktop, my laptop and my iPad - same result regardless of file, folder, browser or device. Can't execute cut/copy/paste/delete using the shortcut icons in the upper right of the File Manager screen.
Regardless of file or folder it always results in the same error (other than the path). No proxy in use and the user language settings are set to English US (en.UTF-8).
Downgrading to 1.920 solves the issue, upgrading to 1.930 brings the issue back.

The some error in Centos 6.10. If I tried to select any file (for example in var/www/html folder file index.php) and select copy, then a new window opens with error message "Error opening directory /%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fhtml No such file or directory". In Webmin 1.920 was all O.K. No proxy, Webmin opened direct from https://www.domainname.cz:10000/
The previous Java File manager was the best file manager in Webmin for me, but however it is not fully functional now.

At least for me I can't use Ctrl functions or the context menu because I'm using the File Manager for remote file management on a server system through the browser.

You still can use Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V/Ctrl+X, I made it work. You can see it from linked video-screencast from 0:32-0:40.
I have tested it on 5 different machines/distros, and it just works for me. :/ Probably we are talking about different issues.
OK, so I missed a piece of key info in my original post, I'm using the Gray Framed Theme - not the Authentic Theme. So I tried the File Manager in Authentic and it works like its supposed to, the File Manager in Gray Framed (which I prefer) gives the error as mentioned in the first (and successive) posts.
I tried Ctrl functions and context functions in Authentic File Manager and they work fine (as do the shortcut functions in the upper right) but these functions don't work/exist for Gray Framed File Manager (which is what I was using - hence my confusion).
So to be more specific, File Manager under Gray Framed theme is broken for file operations in 1.930. It is working under the Authentic theme as it should.
Sorry for the confusion.

Both on Debian 9 and 10 = Webmin 1.930
Firefox 32bit, 64bit, and Chrome.
I would like to confirm I also have the same issue.
Any modification of any file/folder in the File Manager gives a "No such file or directory" error.
This includes assigning owner/permissions to a file/folder, gives the error.
I too am using the "Gray Framed Theme".
I will simply change themes to temporarily resolve this issue, but prefer the Gray Theme because its simple and fast. Additionally I will not revert back to 1.920 due to the security vulnurability that has been blasted all over the internet.
Thank you

I'm using Gray Theme for the some reason as foregoing discussant too. I'm using Webmin in my server a lot of years (from 2003 with Mandrake Linux to Centos 6.10 now) and always with the some theme.
Knows some one, please, if can I use File Manager module from Webmin 1.920? It means install Webmin 1.920, export File Manager module to file, install Webmin 1.930 and install File Manager module from recently saved file? Has this practice effect to Webmin vulnerability? Thanx.

I have had file permission problems (i.e. could not create files except in /) with the gray theme too.I have reverted to 1.920 & it works fine again.

In small extend only. I would recomend you trying Authentic Theme's File Manager. You should experience File Manager with it, as if it was Desktop one. I put countless amount of time into developing it. If you still don't want to, just try using the one from 1.920 version.
In time, I will fix this bug.

For anyone that needs it here is File Manager 1.920 module, install this into 1.930 and it solves the File Manager issue in Gray Framed until the devs can issue a proper fix.
How do I get this file and upload it to the existing webmin install?
I looked everywhere on the link you provided but don't see no download link.
I also can't find where the directory webmin is installed on Debian.
Can we or just I get an updated webmin? ...Like 1.9.31...? LOL
Thank you

Hi, Shawn.
This is very odd, as it works flawlessly for me with all kind of files.
Possibly stuck cache? Try force reloading the browser's cache or try incognito tab. Besides, stop and then start Webmin using console.
If it doesn't help, provide exact steps to reproduce this issue:
I've tried clearing the browser cache, I've tried both Firefox and Chrome, I've tried it on my desktop, my laptop and my iPad - same result regardless of file, folder, browser or device. Can't execute cut/copy/paste/delete using the shortcut icons in the upper right of the File Manager screen.

Same doesn't work if you use Ctrl+C for copy or context menu (right click)?

Have a look.

It's been fixed already.

Ilja, thank You very much, Your fix is fully functional. It's better then to use File Manager from Webmin 1.920. Good job.
How do I get this file and upload it to the existing webmin install?

I also can't find where the directory webmin is installed on Debian.

Thank you
The download link is at the upper right corner of your browser.
Then, install it through the Webmin Configuration | Modules | Upload ...

I don't see it on Firefox....see attached.
I don't even see where I can download just the filemin module...?

Ahhh you're talking about the 1.920 version, I see.
I was talking about the fixed 1.930 version...
many thanks Ilja, fix works great.
I also confirm this error in v1.930.
To apply the proper developer fix just download the following file:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/webmin/webmin/master/filemin/filemin-lib.pl
Overwrite the file in the following folder (at least for Ubuntu): /usr/share/webmin/filemin
Works great. Thanks for the quick fix.
Many thanks. Fix applied and works!
Webmin 1.930 on Debian 9 server x64
Me too I faced this issue on version 1.930 only with "Gray Framed Theme". However, it works fine when using other themes. Thank you.
