The File Manager Option within your Control Panel can prove to be a very powerful feature. It will handle many of the functions that an FTP or Telnet client will handle, all from within your browser.
Functions such as setting permissions, uploading files from your hard drive, creating and editing html files, or creating subdirectories, etc.
When
you click on the File Manager feature inside your Control Panel, you will
find that the screen is divided into three frames. The left frame will show
you your directories and files, and the upper right hand frame is your action
frame, and the lower right hand frame is your trash folder.
Within each directory, you will see links to create a new file, create new folder, or upload files. These actions pertain specifically to the directory that you are currently in. You will also see a column of numbers to the right of each folder and file. The far right column are the current permission settings for that specific folder or file and the column to the left of the permissions is the actual size of the that file or folder.
To the right is a sample shot of a list of folders and files. When you click on the graphic next to the text link for a folder, it will open that folder and display the files and folders within that directory. When you click on the actual text link for a folder or file, actions for that directory or file are displayed in the upper right hand corner of your screen.
Locate
your public_html folder and click on the text link for it. You will see
the actions for the folder appear in the upper right hand corner of your
screen. To the right is a screen shot of the actions that are available
when you click on the text link for any folder.
Actions are pretty self-explanatory, so we'll forgo explaining what each do.
However,
if you will locate a file rather than a folder within your directory listing
and click on the text link of a file, you will see that the action screen
will change to the specific actions pertaining to actual files and you will
notice that the actions that you can perform for files are quite different
from those of a folder.
By clicking on Show File, a new window will open and show you what the file actually looks like in your browser. By clicking on Edit File, you will be taken to a window where you can actually edit the html code within the file itself and save the changes. You can also change the permissions for the file, or copy, move, delete, or rename.
Remember, DO NOT DELETE OR RENAME any files that the system creates. Also, remember that any files that you want available on the world wide web, must be placed within your public_html folder.
