## Login to File Manager

2. **File Manager** Click on the option.
3. Usually for web files of the main domain name `public_html` Use the folder.

## File upload and archive opening

After opening the target folder **Download** Use the button. If you are going to transfer a large number of files on your computer ZIP Convert to the archive is safer than installing one by one. When installation is completed, select the archive and **Home** Open with the command. Check if the files are accidentally removed into two directories.

## File editing and backup

Create a backup copy that contains date in the same directory before changing a file. Select the file and **Log in** Open the command, save change and test the corresponding page in the hidden tab. PHP missing-point comma or unclosed nail sign in the files can cause the site to error.

## Last Control

- Verify that the file is located in the correct domain name directory.
- Check that file owners and permissions are compatible with other running files.
- After the change, review the site and error logs.
- Transient ZIP and do not leave backup files on the web root.
