Using File Manager to upload your site

File Manager is a handy option in your control panel for uploading single files quicky. For uploading entire sites, it is recommended you get yourself an FTP program and upload it in that manner as it is a lot less time consuming that File Manager.

Log into your Control Panel and select the domain you want to upload to.
Once at the main screen, you'll see a "File Manager" button. Simply click that and File Manager will open in a new window.
Once the initial screen has loaded, click the small folder icon next to httpdocs (or httpsdocs if you are uploading to your secure site). This directory you are in now is your web site's directory.
From here you can add directories, upload files, change file/folder permissions as well as many other functions.

Creating Directories

Navigate to where you want to place the directory using the folder icons. Generally httpdocs is a good place to start.
Scroll down the screen a little and enter the name of your directory in the middle text box.
When you have done that, click "GO!" and your directory will be created.
Uploading Files

If you are uploading an entire site, again, we strongly recommend you use an FTP client. For instructions see the FTP section here.

Navigate to the directory you want to upload to by clicking the small folder icons.
Once you have found where your file is going to go, scroll down the screen a little and click the "Browse" button next to the top text box.
Find the file you want to upload and click Open.
Click on "GO!" and your file will be uploaded. Please be patient with this part because if your file is fairly large, it will take more time to upload.
Deleting Files

Navigate to the file using the folder icons to the left of the directory names.
When you have found the file you want to delete, simply follow that file's row along to the right and click the corresponding red "X".
You will be presented with a confirmation screen. Make sure you DOUBLE CHECK it is the file you are actually wanting to delete as there is no way to undo deletion. If all is ok, click "YES!" and the file will be deleted.
Changing Permissions

If you are using scripts on your site that require you to change permissions, File Manager makes this fairly easy.

Find the file or directory you want to change the permissions of.
Look in the Perms column for the row corresponding to your file.
Click link in the Perms column and you will be taken to a screen that allows you to specify the permissions you would like.
Once you are happy with what you have, click Change and your changes will be saved.
If you changed your mind, click cancel and you will be taken back to the directory list.
