You are now taken to the root directory of your hosting account. Web FTP shows you the directories and files contained there.

You can select/deselect directories and files by checking the respective boxes.

The following functions are available:

1. Refresh: The current directory view is refreshed.
2. Cut: The selected directories or files are cut and can then be pasted into another directory.
3. Copy: The selected directories or files are copied and can then be pasted into another directory.
4. Paste: The cut/copied directories or files are pasted into the directory that is currently displayed. If you paste in a directory/file that already exists, an error message appears.
5. Rename: The selected directories or files can be renamed.
6. Delete: The selected directories or files are permanently deleted.
7. Permissions: The permissions for the selected directories or files can be changed. Here you can find additional information about FTP permissions.
8. New Folder: A new folder is created in the current directory. Give the directory a name.
9. New File: A new file is created in the current directory. Give the new file a name. You can create a blank document or use an HTML skeleton file as a template.
10. Upload Files: Upload a file saved on your device to the current directory. The maximum file size is 100 MB.
11. Logout: You will be logged out of Web FTP.

6. Web FTP context menu

Right-clicking on an editable file (e.g. .php, .html, .txt., etc.) opens a context menu.

With the exception of Edit, the same items are available as described in step 5.

Choosing Edit opens the selected file in a web-based editor. Clicking Save saves the edited file directly in the same location.
