cPanel File Manager Guide for Beginners

Learn to use cPanel File Manager on Ceyora hosting in Sri Lanka — upload, edit, delete, and extract website files without FTP software.

cPanel File Manager is a built-in tool on all Ceyora shared hosting plans. It lets you manage website files directly in your browser — ideal for quick edits without installing FTP software.

Common File Manager tasks
  • Upload files: Click Upload, select files, wait for completion
  • Edit files: Right-click a file → Edit (useful for .htaccess or config tweaks)
  • Delete files: Select file → Delete (use with caution)
  • Extract ZIP: Upload a ZIP, right-click → Extract
  • Change permissions: Right-click → Change Permissions (644/755)
Important folders
  • public_html — Your main website files (document root)
  • public_html/subfolder — Addon domain or subdomain content
  • tmp — Temporary files (do not store website files here)
Safety tips

Always back up before editing core files. Never delete folders you do not recognise — contact Ceyora support if unsure. For WordPress, avoid deleting wp-config.php or the wp-content folder.
