Files

The File Manager interface allows you to manage files in your home directory /home/$username/

Create File​

To create a new file, click on the 'New File' button in the menu. In the modal, set the filename, and then click on 'Create File'.

Create Folder​

To create a new folder, click on the 'New Folder' button in the menu. In the modal, set the folder name, and then click on 'Create Folder'.

Upload Files​

To upload a new file, click on the 'Upload' button. In the modal, select the files to be uploaded, and then click on the 'Upload' button.

Except for the account's quota limits, the File Manager doesn't impose any restrictions on upload sizes. This means that you can upload larger files if needed.

Nevertheless, even though it's possible to upload files 10GB+ in size, we advise you to carry out such uploads using a protocol more suitable for larger files, such as FTP or SFTP. These protocols offer enhanced reliability and performance.

File Manager allows you to upload multiple files at once.

Use your mouse cursor to select multiple files and folders. Click and drag, then click again to release the selection.

To select multiple files, one by one, click and hold Ctrl key while clicking on the rows.
