You can use it to create files and directories, assign permissions, and so on, in addition to uploading and removing files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It essentially performs the same functions as an FTP client, though it is not as efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: How to Locate the File Manager<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should be able to locate the File Manager once you&#8217;ve signed into your cPanel account. It can be found in the Files folder. You can also do a name search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-manager-tool-1024x306-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-manager-tool-1024x306-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-manager-tool-1024x306-1-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-manager-tool-1024x306-1-768x230.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you first launch the tool, you&#8217;ll be taken to a new window with navigation and management options, as well as a directory of your website&#8217;s folders and files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-manager-dashboard-1024x343.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-manager-dashboard-1024x343.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-manager-dashboard-300x101.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-manager-dashboard-768x257.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-manager-dashboard.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ll just deal with the public html folder from now on. The device requires all of the remaining folders to ensure that the cPanel service is functioning properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: How to Operate the File Manager<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, there&#8217;s a window section with a folder tree on the left and the contents of a folder on the right. By selecting the appropriate folder, you can navigate to it. Clicking the public html folder, for example, will show its contents \u2013.well-known, cgi-bin, robots.txt, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/main-windows-1024x363-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/main-windows-1024x363-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/main-windows-1024x363-1-300x106.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/main-windows-1024x363-1-768x272.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also use the folder tree search function to navigate to a particular folder by typing the full name path and pressing Go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"30\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/insert-the-folder-path-1024x30-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/insert-the-folder-path-1024x30-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/insert-the-folder-path-1024x30-1-300x9.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/insert-the-folder-path-1024x30-1-768x23.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a number of options for navigation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Home<\/strong> \u2014 when you select it, the Home folder and its contents appear.<\/li><li><strong>Up One Level <\/strong>\u2014 takes you one level higher than where you are now.

A toolbar is available to assist you, but most of the functionality can also be accessed by right-clicking on a particular object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"59\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-management-toolbar-1024x59-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-management-toolbar-1024x59-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-management-toolbar-1024x59-1-300x17.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostnats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/file-management-toolbar-1024x59-1-768x44.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>File<\/strong> \u2013 This function allows you to build a new file inside a selected folder.<\/li><li><strong>Folder <\/strong>\u2013 You may use this function to make a new folder.<\/li><li><strong>Copy<\/strong> \u2013 You have this option to copy the selected file to a specific location.<\/li><li><strong>Move<\/strong> \u2013 This feature functions in the same way as Copy.

You cannot, however, upload folders. You may use an FTP client to upload a folder or a larger file.

They function similarly to any text editor programme and can be very useful for on-the-go editing. Despite having a WYSIWYG gui, it isn&#8217;t as effective as other HTML editors.<\/li><li><strong>View<\/strong> \u2013 This can be used to view a file, such as an image or the contents of the index.php file.<\/li><li><strong>Extract\/Compress<\/strong> \u2013 Compress allows you to store files in Zip, Gzip, or Bzip2 formats. Extract, on the other hand, will extract an archive.<\/li><li><strong>Settings <\/strong>\u2013 You can customise your preferences using this function. You can set the default folder to open anytime you use the File Manager, for example.
