Your Coventry.Domains cPanel<\/a> includes a File Manager that allows you to interact directly with the files stored in your webhosting account. This can be useful if you want to upload software that cannot be automatically installed via the Web Applications<\/a> section of your cPanel, if you need to change the name or permissions of a file or group or files, or if you want to edit a plain text file. To access your files via the File Manager, use these steps in this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get started login to your Coventry.Domains account. Once logged in you\u2019ll be at the homepage of your control panel. The easiest way to navigate the panel is using the search feature in the top right panel. Click the Search box<\/strong> and type \u201cFile Manager\u201d (without the quotes). As you type, the cPanel page will begin to narrow down results, and soon the only visible options will be the File Manager. Alternatively scroll down your cPanel dashboard and look for the ‘Files’ section and click the “File Manager” icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your File Manager will open in a new browser tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the left side of the File Manager window, you\u2019ll see a navigation menu containing the file structure of your webhosting account. More information about the contents of these files and folders can be found in the \u201cFile Structures and the File Manager\u201d [LINK TO POST] documentation in this knowledgebase. You\u2019ll notice your current location (the public_html folder) is bolded and highlighted in this menu. Click the [+] (expand) icon next to a folder to see what subfolders it contains, or click on the name of the folder to view all of its contents in the file browser on the right side of the page. You can also navigate through the folders in your account by double-clicking on them in the file browser on the right side of the \u201cFile Manager\u201d page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To select an item, click once on its icon in the file browser. You can also use the \u201cSelect All\u201d button above the file browser, or your computer\u2019s keyboard shortcuts (Shift, Command, Control, etc), to select multiple items from this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on what you have selected, different options will be available to you in the action menu across the top of the \u201cFile Manager\u201d page. If you have selected a folder, for example, you can \u201cRename\u201d it or \u201cChange Permissions\u201d on it, but do not edit it using the Code Editor or HTML Editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you know exactly what location you want to skip to within your File Manager, you can type it into the box directly above the navigation menu and click Go<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, if you know the exact name of the file or folder you are looking for, but not its location, you can use the Search<\/strong> box to find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
