Manage web thanks to SFTP

To be able to manage the web view of your repository you can use SFTP.

The admin of your instance needs to activate it in the forge conf of the root repository.

When enabled you can connect to it through sftp://yourdomain.com/ it will display all the repositories of the instance. You can cd myRepo to view all files that compose your repository for the webview. Everybody can see them (just like in the browser web), but only users in the owner group can write.

So, if you want to add files to your web without adding them in git this is the solution. For example you can add releases binaries there, or big images only here for the web.
