Uploading Files via the cPanel File Manager

The cPanel File Manager is a powerful, web-based tool that lets you manage your website files directly from your browser. It’s like having "File Explorer" (Windows) or "Finder" (Mac) right inside your hosting account.

Step 1: Access the File Manager

1. Log in to your Jiinubi Client Area.
2. Go to Services > My Services and select your hosting plan.
3. Click Login to cPanel on the left-hand sidebar.
4. Once in cPanel, find the Files section and click on File Manager.

Step 2: Navigate to the Correct Folder

Where you upload your files matters:

• Main Website: Double-click the public_html folder. This is the "web root." Any files placed here will be visible at yourdomain.com.
• Subdomain: Navigate to the folder named after your subdomain (e.g., blog.yourdomain.com).

Step 3: Uploading Your Files

1. Click the Upload icon in the top navigation toolbar. A new tab will open.
2. Select Files: Drag and drop files from your computer or click Select File to browse your local folders.
3. Wait for the Green Bar: Once the progress bar reaches 100% and turns green, the upload is complete.
4. Return: Click the link at the bottom that says "Go back to..." to return to the File Manager.

Managing Files After Upload

Once your files are on the server, right-click any file to:

• Edit: Open a built-in code editor to change a line of HTML or CSS.
• Rename: Change mypage.html to index.html.
• Permissions: Change who can read or write to the file (standard is 0644 for files).
• Delete: Remove old files to save disk space.

Important Notes

• The Index File: To make your website load automatically, your main file must be named index.php or index.html.
• Case Sensitivity: Unlike Windows, Linux servers (which Jiinubi uses) are case-sensitive. Image.jpg and image.jpg are considered different files. Always use lowercase for web files to avoid errors.
