  ◦ You can expand folders (like wp-content, logs, error_docs) to access specific files.
  
  
• Manage Files (Copy, Move, Archive, Delete)

The toolbar at the top of File Manager lets you quickly manage your files and folders:

◦ Move → Relocate a file/folder to a different directory.
◦ Archive → Compress selected files into a .zip archive (helpful for backups).
◦ Remove → Permanently delete selected files/folders.

From the File Manager toolbar, click the , (plus) button to see file options:

◦ Upload File → Add a new file from your computer into the selected directory.
◦ Upload Directory → Upload an entire folder.
◦ Import file via URL → Fetch a file directly from a given link.
◦ Create File → Make a new file (e.g., PHP, HTML, CSS, etc.).
◦ Create Directory → Make a new folder to better organize your website files.

• Edit Files in File Manager
  
  ◦ In File Manager, you can open any directory (for example: .ssh or httpdocs).
  ◦ Inside, you’ll see the available files (e.g., authorized_keys, id_rsa, etc.).
  ◦ Select the file you want to edit and click on it to open the options.

• When you open a file in the Code Editor, you’ll be able to directly modify its content.

• At the bottom of the editor, you have the following buttons:
  
  ◦ Save → Apply and keep changes.

  ◦ Save as → Save a new version of the file.
  
  ◦ Cancel → Exit without saving changes.

• Change File Permissions
  
  ◦ In File Manager, you can control who has access to read, write, or execute a file.
  ◦ To update permissions, select a file → click on the permissions option (usually next to the file).
  ◦ A dialog like the one in the screenshot will open.
  
  
• Here you can adjust:
  
  ◦ Owner → Usually your hosting user (full control).
  ◦ Group → Other system-level users.
  ◦ Others → Public access.
  
  
•  For each, you can toggle:
  
  ◦ Read → Can view the file.
  ◦ Write → Can modify the file.
  ◦ Execute/Search → Can run the file (used for scripts).
