How to manage files online from your Control Panel.
These features are available on the Advanced and Reseller Hosting Plans only. Standard and Windows Plans do not have Control Panel file management.
File Manager
From the Control Panel there is an icon link to the 'file manager' which enables clients to upload, view and edit pages.
A good first exercise is to try to view and edit the index page we have placed there.
To do so ...
login to your Control Panel
click on the 'file manager' icon
click on the 'public_html' icon (not the text)
click on the 'index.html' file name (not the icon)
a menu will appear in the right hand column that will enable you to edit, rename or delete the file
Whilst the Control Panel 'file manager' tool will do the job of an ftp client, it is not as advanced as some stand-alone tools and we suggest you acquire an ftp application which can be installed on your local computer ... this will make it easier and faster to manage your online files.
Please note, the file manager tool has a built in minimum server space level which means that, after you have uploaded your files, you need to have at least 5mb of free server space.
This is to ensure you do not use up all your webspace which can result in system conflicts cause your account to stall.
