Using File Manager in Cpanel
You can find your file manager link for your website in your cpanel (control panel). File Manager will let you manage your files, of course, by creating new ones, renaming files, copying and moving files, deleting files, uploading files, etc.
Once you’ve clicked the file manager link, a new browser window should open up with your website contents listed. Beside each file, folder or option listed will be a small icon. If it’s a folder, a small folder icon appears just to the left of the folder name. If you click on the folder name, a list of options for that folder will appear on the top right of the browser window. These options include deleting the folder, changing the permissions of the folder, renaming the folder, moving the folder and copying the folder.
If you click the folder icon, you will be taken inside the folder and a new list of files and/or folders will appear with icons indicating whether it is a file or folder. Again, you can click on the name to manipulate the file or folder or the icon to go inside the folder.
If you click on an icon next to a file or document, it acts as if you clicked on the filename with a list of available actions you can take on the file in the top right corner of your browser. Clicking on ‘Up One Level’ will take you outside of the current folder. Clicking on ‘Upload Files’ will take you to a window that allows you to browse for a file on your local computer hard drive to upload to your website. Clicking on ‘Create New File’ will allow you to create a new file in the current folder. And ‘Create New Folder’ allows you to create a new folder in the current folder.
Working online with your files can be relatively simple and straightforward with a little guidance.
