3. Once the file has been uploaded, select the checkbox next to it and then click Extract Files.
Editing Files in File Manager
You can edit pages of your website in File Manager using:
1. HTML editor, a WYSIWYG editor, which automatically adds the necessary HTML tags. You can use this editor if you are not familiar with HTML.
2. Code editor, which opens HTML files as text files and highlights HTML syntax. Best suited for those who want to add HTML tags manually.
3. Text editor, which opens HTML files as plain text.
To edit a file in File Manager:
1. Hover over the file. The corresponding line will become highlighted.
2. Click to open the file’s context menu.
3. Click Edit in … Editor.
Changing Permissions in File Manager
If you have files or web pages and you want to make inaccessible on the Internet, change the files’ access permissions in File Manager. To edit access permissions for a file or a directory:
1. Hover over the file. The corresponding line will become highlighted.
2. Click to open the file’s context menu and then click Change Permissions.
3. Edit the permissions and then click OK. Learn how to review and edit the permissions in Setting File and Directory Access Permissions.
By default, File Manager changes permissions non-recursively, which means that children files and directories do not inherit changed permissions of the parent directory.
To edit access permissions recursively:
1. Hover over the directory. The corresponding line will become highlighted.
2. Click to open the directory’s context menu and then click Set Permissions Recursive.
3. Edit the permissions. “Folder Permissions” refer to the parent directory itself and also children directories. “File Permissions” refer to children files.
4. When you have finished changing permissions, click OK.
