Overview
The File Manager allows you to upload files to your website without using FTP. You can upload individual files directly, but whole folders must first be created in the File Manager.
Important information
⚠️ You can't upload folders directly. First, create the folder in the File Manager, and then upload the files.
⚠️ Make sure the new files do not overwrite important existing files unless you are sure.

You are now automatically logged into cPanel without having to enter your username or password again
Step 2: Open the File Manager
Go to the Files section and click on File Manager.
