File Manager is a powerful web-based software tool that helps you perform various online actions with files on your Webspace server. These actions include:
- File/directory creation
- File uploading
- File/directory copying
- File/directory moving
- File/directory deleting
- File/directory renaming
- Viewing and setting the file/directory access permission attributes. It is possible to set the “Read”, “Write”, “Execute” permissions separately
- File editing
- Archive creation
- Extracting files from archives
All of these operations may be carried out on any file or directory within your root directory. However, there is a set of system files and directories which you are not allowed to manage.
Note: You cannot access the webspace/cgi-bin directory via File Manager. Use an FTP protocol to access this directory.
File Manager operates similarly on Windows and Linux Webspaces; the existing differences are covered separately in respective sections below.
