FILE MANAGER in the Control panel.
The File manager in our control panel, is an easy way for you to modify and upload to your website, without any extra programs or web knowledge.
How to log in to it
- Log in to your control panel this way
http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel
username:
password:
(insert your domain in the “yourdomain.com”
Then click on the FILE MANAGER ICON.
Here are some tips to use it.
1: If you click on the name of the folder, or the folder icon itself.
They do different things.
Clicking on the folder icon goes *inside* the folder. And clicking on the name next to the folder icon, will *highlight* the folder (or it could be a file) and display what you can do to it, in the top right of your screen. If its a file, you may be able to edit it or delete it/rename it. If its a folder, you may be able to rename or delete it.
Go in to file manager, click on public_html (the folder not the name) - clicking on the public_html folder, goes INSIDE the folder. Clicking on the public_html link or name, will allow you to change it in some way.
The public_html is where all your web files should go.
Now you should be inside it. Then click on the files (click on the name this time) and something should appear in the top right.
You edit, change or take out code and then save. When you view the page on your site, you should click REFRESH to see the latest copy.
If you want to manipulate a folder or delete a folder, you must click on the name of the folder. It will then appear in the top right. Only then will you have the options to delete or reneme it etc.
How to upload to your site
If you want to upload to your site, just click on the upload button in the middle left of every screen. Browse the file you want to upload and then click upload.
Make sure if the file exists, that you click on OVERWRITE existing file.
