Getting started with the File Manager

The File Manager looks similar to Windows Explorer.

Top bar

The top bar contains two buttons. With the button Up you are able to navigate one level up within your directory. Click the button Switch Binary/ASCII to change the transfer mode. Binary mode is recommended as this will allow you to send data other than plain text.

At the right side of the top bar you can see which directory is currently showing in the main window.

Main window

The main window shows the files and directories (folders) in the directory you are currently in. Double click a directory to open it.

In order to access the root of your website, you must double click the directory which is called the same as your domain name. From there, double click cgi-bin to upload scripts, or www to upload html files. The other options are not in use.

Left panel

The left panel contains the menu File and Folder Tasks. Some menu items are only visible when a file or directory is selected. The following menu items are available:

Delete file: Delete the selected file or directory.

Edit: Edit the selected file or directory.

Rename: Rename the selected file or directory.

Change permissions: Change the Owner, Group and Public permissions for the selected file or directory. The available permissions are Read, Write and Execute.
