The File Manager functions become available after you have configured physical hosting for a domain. File Manager is designed for working with files (e.g. web pages, text files, images etc) on a domain and its subdomains. Using File Manager, you can easily upload, create and delete files as well as organize them in folders and change file timestamps and permissions. File manager also allows to edit uploaded text and HTML files in text or WYSIWYG mode.
To access the file manager functions, click the  File Manager icon on the Domain Administration page. The file manager page will open displaying a domain directory structure and contents: To browse a directory, click the  icon or directory name. To view or change permissions for a directory or a file, click the  icon. The permissions settings page will open, allowing you to set the required permissions. Select the desired settings using the checkboxes, then click OK to submit. To rename a directory or a file, click on the corresponding  icon. A new page will open allowing you to rename the selected file or directory. Type in a new name and click OK. To copy or move a file, a directory or a group of files and/or directories to another location, select the corresponding checkbox(es) and click  Copy/Move. You will then need to specify the destination for the file or directory to be copied or moved to. Then click Copy to copy, or Move to move it. To change a timestamp for a directory, a file or a group of files and/or directories, select the corresponding checkbox(es) and click on the  Change Timestamp icon. The timestamp(s) will be updated with the current local time. To remove a file, a directory or a group of files and/or directories, select the coresponding checkbox(es), and click Remove Selected. To upload a file to the current directory, click  Add New File, then specify its location. Click OK. To create a file, click Add New File, then type in a file name in the corresponding field, check (uncheck) the "html template" box, and click OK. To create a subdirectory that will be nested in the current directory, click  Add New Directory, then type in the directory name in the Directory name field, and click OK. To calculate disk space occupied by some files or directories, select them using the corresponding checkboxes and click the button. To edit a file in text mode, click the corresponding  icon. The File Manager's editor window will open, allowing you to edit the file source. After you are done with editing, click Save to save the file, Save and Exit to save the file and quit the file editing mode, Cancel to cancel editing mode and return to the File Manager panel, or Reset to discard the alterations made. To edit a file in the WYSIWYG editor, click the corresponding  icon.
