File Manager
The basics of managing files in your browser: upload, edit, delete and search.
File Manager is a cPanel tool for working with files directly in your browser, without an FTP program.
- Log in to cPanel (Log in to cPanel).
- In the Files section open File Manager.
- In the left tree choose a folder. Your site files are in
public_html.
Most common actions#
- Upload: top bar, then drag files into the window or click Select File. For many files use a ZIP: ZIP and extracting.
- + File / + Folder: create a new file or folder.
- Edit: right-click a file → Edit opens a text editor. On first opening choose the UTF-8 encoding.
- Rename, Copy, Move, Delete: right-click or the buttons on the bar.
- Permissions: change permissions. See File permissions.
- Search: the box at the top right searches by name in the selected folder.
Settings#
Click Settings (top right) and enable Show Hidden Files (dotfiles). Without it you do not see .htaccess. See .htaccess basics.
