"File Manager" allows you to easily edit, upload, copy and manage your web hosting files from your browser. You can access your "File Manager" by logging into your cPanel account.
You can log in to your cPanel account directly or within the client portal (If you cannot remember your password, there is a password reset link).
Step 1 (a) - Logging into cPanel directly
You can log in directly to your cPanel account by using your domain name followed by /cPanel in the URL.
e.g - https://domainname.co.uk/cpanel (Note, please replace domainname.co.uk to your own domain name)
Step 1 (b) - Logging into cPanel via the Client Portal
Once logged in to your client portal, click on the "Services" tab and then "My Services". Select the "active" button (under the "Status" column) for the service you wish to update.
On the left-hand side, you will see the "Overview" section. Click on "Login to cPanel".
Step 2
Once logged into your cPanel account, scroll down to the "Files" section and click on "File Manager".
Step 3 - How to set up and use File Manager
cPanel organises all the files in your account into folders, allowing you to manage and edit your files.
When you first use File Manager, you can specify the required default settings.
This will give you the option to select the directory which you want File Manager to open by default. From here, you can also enable the "Show Hidden Files (dotfiles)".
Step 4
At the top of the "File Manager" page, you will see the tools available to manage your files.
This allows you to do the following:
Add a new file/folder
Copy a file/folder
Move a file/folder
Upload a file/folder
Restore a file/folder
Rename a file/folder
Edit a file
Edit HTML
Change permissions for a file/folder
Extract compressed files/folder
