Using Your File Manager
Similar to Microsoft Windows Explorer in function, the File Manager
Option in the Control Panel allows you to perform file management
tasks such as creating files and directories, setting the read, write or
execute permissions on the files and directories in your site, renaming
or deleting files or directories, and changing the password for
directories that are password-protected. For more information on
changing permissions for scripts, see
file
permissions.
Uploading
with File Manager is easy. Start with the File Manager icon in your
account Control Panel, at yourdomain.com/menu (or IP
address/menu). Once the File Manager window has opened, you will
see a listing of directories located in your account, the details of
which are displayed in the listing below:

Notes: File Manager does not display hidden files (i.e., files
whose names begin with a period (.), such as ".htaccess").
Each directory and file within the listing will appear as a hypertext
link. In the image above, links appear blue and underlined. Simply
click on any link to drill down into that directory. In the case
of a file, clicking on its link will open the file (if it can be opened
by the browser).
1. How To Create or Edit a File in File Manager
From the File Manager, move to the field entitled File Name.
To edit an existing file, type the name of that file in the field
shown above. To create a new file, type the new file name in the text
field.
Select the Create/Edit file button. If creating a new file, the
following screen appears. If working with an existing file, the file
automatically opens.
Select the Confirm button, which acknowledges that the file does not
already exist and that you are creating a new file.
The File Manager File Screen opens. If you are creating a new file,
an empty window appears. If you are editing an existing file, the file
contents should display in this window.
Make any necessary changes or additions to the file.
If desired, you can change the size of the window in which the file
is displayed. To do this, select a new Size or Height (or both) from
their respective drop-down lists and click on the Change Size button.
When all changes have been made, select the Save File button to save
the file. The File Manager page reappears with the newly created file
(if any) displayed in the listing.
