Working with WebFTP (file manager)


  1. Create a new folder - a form will open where you can enter the name of the folder you want to add.
  2. Creating a new file - just like a folder, you can create a file with any extension, for example index.html
    After adding a file, click on it to open it for editing or changing the encoding.
  3. Uploading a file to the server . Files can be uploaded in various ways, such as:
    · Uploading files from your computer.
    · Download a file (archive) using a link (example: http://domain.ru/archive.zip ).
    · Downloading files via a connection to a remote server via a regular FTP server.
  4. Executing SSH commands (relevant for plans with SSH). A form for sending SSH commands opens (use example: item 2).
  5. Checking folders and the number of files in them . Information is displayed for the first 100 folders.
  6. Select the encoding in which you want to display your files.
  7. The path to our current location . You can also manually enter the path in this line. Clicking the Open button will open the specified folder or file if the path exists and we specified the path along with the file (e.g. /home/user/html/index.html ).
  8. Selecting all files and folders in a directory will cause check marks to appear next to all files and highlight the lines. You can also select a specific line if you need to perform a specific operation on certain files or folders (for example, compress them into an archive or delete them).
  9. A drop-down menu for actions on selected files and folders . Let's take a closer look:


· Delete selected
Deletes the selected files and folders. Once deleted, they cannot be restored.

· Set rights
Setting permissions for files or folders. How to select files is described in step 8 above.

· Packing into an archive
Pack selected files or folders into a .tar or compressed .tar.gz archive. Instead of the standard "archive" name, you can enter your own and select the archive type next to it.

· Move to another folder
Moving folders or files to another folder. To do this, select the folders you want to move and enter the path in the Move field.

· Rename to another encoding
Changes the encoding of the names of the selected files.

· Transcode file contents
Change the content encoding of the selected files.

Opposite each folder or file there are icons:

  1. Change the properties of a file or folder .
  2. View file - opens the file in a browser window for viewing.
  3. Download file - allows you to save the file on your computer.
  4. Unzip archive — unzips the archive. Unzipping works the same way you would on your computer. If the archive contains a folder with files, a folder containing those files will appear next to the archive in WebFTP.

Point 1 applies to both folders and files, points 2 and 3 apply only to files.
Item 4 is only available for archives (.rar, .zip, .tar, .tar.gz).

Now let's look at point 1 in more detail:

  1. You can rename a file or folder in the folder properties. If you're renaming a domain folder, be sure to change the path to it in your domain settings (Domains → Settings (next to your domain) → full path to the domain).
  2. You can also move a file or folder to the desired location by editing the path within your account, that is, no higher than /home/user/ .
  3. You can change the permissions of a file or folder by checking or unchecking boxes. If you don't want to change anything, simply close the form.

This makes it quite easy to manipulate files, folders, and domains within your account.
