Copying or moving files in cPanel's File Manager is straightforward and allows you to manage your website's files efficiently. Here’s a step-by-step guide to copying or moving files:
Open your web browser and navigate to your cPanel login page (https://yourdomain.com/cpanel or https://cpanel.yourdomain.com).
Enter your username and password to access the cPanel dashboard.
In the Files section of the cPanel dashboard, click on File Manager.
The File Manager interface will open in a new tab or window, displaying the directory structure of your website.
Use the left-hand directory tree to navigate to the folder containing the file(s) or folder(s) you want to copy or move.
The contents of the selected directory will be displayed in the right-hand pane.
Click on the file or folder you wish to copy or move to highlight it.
To select multiple files or folders, hold down the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Mac) while clicking on each item.
Once the files or folders are selected, you have two options:
Copy: Click on the Copy button in the top menu (or right-click and select Copy).
Move: Click on the Move button in the top menu (or right-click and select Move).
A pop-up window will appear asking you to specify the destination path:
Copy: Enter the path where you want to copy the selected files/folders.
Move: Enter the path where you want to move the selected files/folders.
You can type in the destination path directly or use the Browse button to navigate through directories.
After specifying the destination path, click Copy Files or Move Files (depending on the action you chose).
The selected files or folders will be copied or moved to the specified directory.
Navigate to the destination folder to ensure that the files or folders have been copied or moved successfully.
Creating a Backup Before Moving Files: It’s a good practice to create a backup of your files before moving them, especially if they are critical for your website’s functionality.
Understanding Directory Structure: Be sure you understand the directory structure of your site to avoid moving files to the wrong location.
Undoing Actions: If you mistakenly move or copy files to the wrong location, you can easily move or copy them back to the original directory using the same steps.
By following these steps, you can efficiently manage the files and directories on your website using cPanel's File Manager.
