How to use the File Manager in Plesk


The File Manager is used to upload, remove and organize all your website files.
 
  1. Click "Websites & Domains".
  2. Choose the "File Manager". Your main website's files are listed under httpdocs.
 
To create a new folder:
 
  1. Click "Add New Directory".
  2. Type the Directory Name and click "OK".
  3. The directory will be created, and you will automatically redirected inside it. 
  4. Return to the parent directory by using the breadcrumbs above the file directory.
  5. Clicking a folder icon allows you to edit the folder.
  6. Set the new name, and click "OK".
  7. If you need to delete a directory, select the box next to it, then click "Remove".
  8. Check the "Confirm removal" box to confirm removal and click "OK".
 
To upload files:
 
  1. Click "Add New File".
  2. Select "Upload a File" to upload or "Create a File" to make a new file. 
  3. Click "Choose File" to upload a file.
  4. Browse for the file on your computer and click "Open".
  5. Click "OK".
  6. Use the icons next to it to view or edit the file. 
  7. You can change the file permissions by clicking the link next to the file in the Permissions column. Set which groups of users will be able to read, write and execute this file, then click "OK".
 
Deleting a file can be done the same way as removing a directory.

  2. Confirm and click "OK".
