File Manager
This section provides information about DirectAdmin's
built in file manager. The file manager allows you to
fully interact with the server's file system. You can
navigate folders, copy files, move files, rename files,
delete files, change file permissions, create new
folders, create new files, and upload files through your
web browser.
NOTE: Use of the file manager with MS FrontPage
Extensions
installed is not recommended.
Use FrontPage instead.
Navigating
The file manager may be accessed through the main control
panel menu by clicking on the "File Manager" icon.
Navigating through folders is accomplished by clicking
on the folder name or the folder icon (to the left of
the folder name). You can always return to the previous
directory by clicking "../ Up a Level" link.
Copying Files
The file manager makes it easy to copy files between
folders. The first step is to navigate to the source
directory. That is, go into the directory you want to
copy files from. In this example we are in public_html
and we want to copy license.txt to the public_ftp
directory.
Second, place a check next to the file(s) you want to
copy. Then, choose the destination directory from the
dropdown menu next to the " Move To " button.
Finally click the " Copy To " button.
The file manager will then ask if you want to
overwrite any existing files. If you select no, only
files that don't exist in the destination directory will
be copied. When the copying is complete, you will be
taken to the destination directory and you will see the
copied files there.
Moving Files
To move files, use the same procedure as copying files,
except click the " Move To " button instead of the " Copy
To " button. When the move is complete, you will be
taken to the destination directory and you will see the
moved files there.
