My project folder is structured this way:

Project
  L Game Server
  L Web
    L NextJS whole stuff

Now from "NextJS whole stuff" folder that would simply be the nextjs server folder, I have the need to access the Game Server folder for like, create and edit a few files. Is it possible?

It is possible if you are running this locally or on a dedicated server

You mean the entire code of the project will be downloaded right?

Then it should be possible

Actually its better to try it out now with a simple example ðŸ˜„
