If you&#8217;re on <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberin.in\/cpanel-hosting\">cPanel hosting in India<\/a>, you&#8217;ll find it by logging in to cPanel and opening the Files section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is cPanel File Manager?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">cPanel File Manager is a tool that enables you to manage files and folders on your hosting server via a web browser. You don\u2019t need to connect with a separate FTP client, you can open your site\u2019s directory right from the cPanel dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You will be able to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Upload website files, images, documents, scripts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download files to your PC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create, copy, move and rename directories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Edit HTML, CSS, PHP, and other text files<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extract and compress zip files<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modify file and folder permissions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove files and folders you no longer need<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine it like the file explorer on your computer but instead it is looking at your web server. It is good for routine maintenance, quick repairs and daily content updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Open cPanel File Manager?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It takes about ten seconds:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in to your cPanel hosting account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find the <strong>Files<\/strong> section on the dashboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>File Manager<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the folder that holds the website you want to work on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll see your account&#8217;s folders and files right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you run several websites from one hosting account, each one may have its own document root folder. Take a moment to check which folder belongs to which site. Our guide to addon domains and subdomains in cPanel explains how that works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Before you edit or delete anything, double-check you&#8217;re in the right website folder. It&#8217;s surprisingly easy to change the wrong site when several share one account, and no judgment, it happens to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Main Folders in File Manager?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you start moving things around, it helps to know what each folder does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6af5bcd6b4258&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6af5bcd6b4258\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img onload=\"this.setAttribute('data-loaded', true)\"  loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"455\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Folders-in-File-Manager-1024x455.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Folders-in-File-Manager-1024x455.png 1024w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Folders-in-File-Manager-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Folders-in-File-Manager-360x160.png 360w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Folders-in-File-Manager-767x341.png 767w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Folders-in-File-Manager-480x213.png 480w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Folders-in-File-Manager-760x338.png 760w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Folders-in-File-Manager-990x440.png 990w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Folders-in-File-Manager-1536x683.png 1536w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Folders-in-File-Manager-1284x571.png 1284w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Folders-in-File-Manager-1520x676.png 1520w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Folders-in-File-Manager.png 1548w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 790px) 790px, 100vw\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the public_html Folder?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><code>public_html<\/code> is generally the document root for the primary domain on a cPanel account. Files placed here can be served publicly through your website, depending on their permissions and your server configuration. In plain terms: if you want something to show up on your website, it usually goes here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A typical WordPress site looks like this inside it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>public_html\/\n\u2502\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 index.php\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 .htaccess\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 wp-config.php\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 wp-content\/\n\u2502   \u251c\u2500\u2500 themes\/\n\u2502   \u251c\u2500\u2500 plugins\/\n\u2502   \u2514\u2500\u2500 uploads\/\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 wp-admin\/\n\u2514\u2500\u2500 wp-includes\/<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s just one example, since other applications can use a different structure. And if you have an addon domain or an extra website, check its assigned document root in cPanel before you upload anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Upload Files Using cPanel File Manager?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uploading is what most people use File Manager for. It works for website backups, images, documents, scripts and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open File Manager.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to the folder where the files should live, such as <code>public_html<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Upload<\/strong> in the toolbar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the files from your computer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait for the upload to finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go back to File Manager and refresh the folder to confirm your files are there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uploading a lot of files? Zip them first. One archive is far easier to upload than hundreds of small files, and far less likely to time out halfway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> If you upload an <code>index.html<\/code> or <code>index.php<\/code> file into a folder that already has one, check for a clash with your existing homepage file. Replacing the wrong file can change what visitors see when they open your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Download Files from File Manager?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can pull files from your hosting account down to your computer, which is handy for manual backups or for editing something locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open File Manager.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to the folder with the file you need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Download<\/strong> in the toolbar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pick a location on your computer if you&#8217;re asked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To download several files at once, compress them into a ZIP archive first and download that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Edit Website Files in File Manager?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">File Manager has built-in editing for text-based files, so you can change HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript and configuration files without leaving your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the folder with the file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right-click the file, or select it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose <strong>Edit<\/strong> or <strong>HTML Editor<\/strong>, depending on the file and the options you see.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make your changes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save the file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For anything with programming code in it, the <strong>Code Editor<\/strong> is the better pick. It shows code in a more readable layout and may include syntax highlighting. You can use it to update page content, styling, PHP code, JavaScript functions and configuration files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Edit the .htaccess File?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <code>.htaccess<\/code> file is commonly used on Apache-based hosting to control redirects, URL rewriting, access restrictions and other server behaviour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To edit it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open <code>public_html<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you can&#8217;t see <code>.htaccess<\/code>, turn on <strong>Show Hidden Files (dotfiles)<\/strong> in File Manager settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find the <code>.htaccess<\/code> file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make a backup copy first.<\/strong> Seriously, do this one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open it with the <strong>Edit<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make your change and save.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> A wrong <code>.htaccess<\/code> rule can cause redirect loops, 403 errors or 500 Internal Server Errors. Only change rules you understand, and keep the backup so you can put the original back in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Create a New File or Folder?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can create both directly inside your website directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To create a new file:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the folder where you want it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>+ File<\/strong> in the toolbar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type the filename, including its extension (for example <code>contact.html<\/code> or <code>custom.css<\/code>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Create New File<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To create a new folder:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the folder where you want it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>+ Folder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type a folder name (an <code>images<\/code> folder is a good way to keep graphics tidy).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Create New Folder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Copy, Move and Rename Files?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can reorganise files without downloading them first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Copying:<\/strong> select the file or folder, click <strong>Copy<\/strong>, enter the destination and confirm. You&#8217;ll end up with a second version while the original stays put.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Moving:<\/strong> select the file or folder, click <strong>Move<\/strong>, enter the destination and confirm. Moving changes the file&#8217;s location, so if your website depends on its old path, moving it may break links or functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Renaming:<\/strong> select the file, click <strong>Rename<\/strong>, type the new name and confirm. Be careful with file extensions. Renaming a file from <code>.php<\/code> to <code>.txt<\/code>, for example, changes how the server handles it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Extract and Compress ZIP Files?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Archive tools are a lifesaver when you&#8217;re uploading a website backup or downloading lots of files together. If you&#8217;re moving a whole site, our guide to migrating a website without downtime shows where this fits in the bigger picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To extract a ZIP archive:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Upload the ZIP file to the folder you need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the archive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Extract<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the destination folder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the extraction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check that the extracted files ended up in the right place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you upload a WordPress ZIP, for instance, make sure the files land in your actual website directory and not inside an unnecessary extra folder. It&#8217;s a classic mistake, and it makes your site look like it vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To compress files into a ZIP archive:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select the files or folders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Compress<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose <strong>ZIP Archive<\/strong> as the compression type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter a name for the archive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose where to save it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start the compression.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can then download the ZIP or keep it on your account as a quick backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Change File Permissions in cPanel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Permissions decide who (and what) can read, write or run a file or folder. In File Manager, they&#8217;re usually shown as three-digit numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6af5bcd6b6147&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6af5bcd6b6147\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img onload=\"this.setAttribute('data-loaded', true)\"  loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"367\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/File-Permissions-in-cPanel-1024x367.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/File-Permissions-in-cPanel-1024x367.png 1024w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/File-Permissions-in-cPanel-300x107.png 300w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/File-Permissions-in-cPanel-768x275.png 768w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/File-Permissions-in-cPanel-360x129.png 360w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/File-Permissions-in-cPanel-480x172.png 480w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/File-Permissions-in-cPanel-1536x550.png 1536w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/File-Permissions-in-cPanel-760x272.png 760w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/File-Permissions-in-cPanel-990x355.png 990w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/File-Permissions-in-cPanel-1284x460.png 1284w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/File-Permissions-in-cPanel-1520x545.png 1520w, https:\/\/cyberin.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/File-Permissions-in-cPanel.png 1697w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 790px) 790px, 100vw\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To change permissions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open File Manager.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find the file or folder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right-click it and choose <strong>Change Permissions<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust the read, write and execute boxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Change Permissions<\/strong> to save.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Security tip:<\/strong> Avoid setting anything to 777 unless a specific application requirement and your hosting setup genuinely call for it.

maintenance. An FTP client tends to be more comfortable when you&#8217;re moving lots of files, syncing folders or working with local copies of your site every day. For a closer comparison, read our guide to choosing between File Manager and FTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Habits That Keep Your Website Files Safe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A few small habits prevent most accidental disasters:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Back up before you edit.<\/strong> Keep a copy of important files before changing configuration or code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check the document root.<\/strong> Make sure you&#8217;re in the right website folder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t delete what you don&#8217;t understand.<\/strong> Find out what a file does first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use sensible permissions.<\/strong> Follow your application&#8217;s recommended settings rather than opening everything up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay organised.<\/strong> Use clearly named folders for images, documents, backups and other assets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clear out old archives.<\/strong> Delete outdated ZIP files and temporary uploads once you&#8217;re done with them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Protect sensitive files.<\/strong> Don&#8217;t leave private backups, credentials or confidential documents in publicly accessible folders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">cPanel File Manager makes everyday file management possible without installing anything extra. From uploading files and editing configuration to handling permissions and extracting archives, it covers the essentials of keeping a website running, right from your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Know your folder structure, back up before you change anything important, and keep permissions sensible, and you&#8217;ll dodge most of the mistakes that trip people up. To explore the rest of your dashboard, read our complete cPanel management guide for practical help with email, files, databases and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is cPanel File Manager?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With your hosting account you get cPanel\u2019s File Manager, which is a tool to upload, download, edit, copy, move, rename, compress, extract and delete website files all through your web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How do I open cPanel File Manager?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Log in to <strong>cPanel <\/strong>and click on File Manager under the <strong>Files Manager<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where are website files stored in cPanel?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your main domain files are typically stored in the <code>public_htm<\/code>l folder. cPanel may have other document roots set up for other domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I upload a complete website using cPanel File Manager?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Upload your website files (usually as a ZIP archive) to the correct document root and extract there. Make sure you put the homepage and application files in the correct folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I edit PHP files in cPanel File Manager?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes with the built in <strong>Edit <\/strong>or <strong>Code Editor<\/strong> option. First, make a backup, because bad PHP code can break your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why can&#8217;t I see the .htaccess file in File Manager?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a hidden file because its name starts with a dot. Open File Manager settings and turn on <strong>Show Hidden Files (dotfiles).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What file permissions should I use?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular files are usually 644 and directories are usually 755. Always use the setting recommended by your app. And don\u2019t use 777 unless you really need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is cPanel File Manager better than FTP?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No best answer. FTP clients are more practical for frequent or bulk transfers and File Manager is good for quick browser based tasks .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I restore deleted files in cPanel File Manager?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you moved the files to the Trash and you have the Trash feature enabled, you might be able to recover them. Most of the time, they need to be backed up before they can be recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>cPanel File Manager is a
