Using Directories

One of the most popular functions is the capability to create multiple directories for your page. These directories can be used to store your images, html files, or anything else that you want to put in them. They are completely web accessible and can be deleted.

How do I change directories?

To change to a different directory, login to your file manager and look for a drop down list containing a list of all of your directories. Select the directory you want to go to, and click "Jump to directory", you will then be taken to that directory.

How do I create a directory?

To create a directory, login to the file manager and look for a drop down list with the name of the directory that you are in. Select the directory that you wish to create a directory in (for instance if you want the directory to be user/images, go to the main directory). Once you have selected your directory, go to the next line where it says "Create a new folder in the current directory" and type in the name of the directory you wish to create. Then click "Create New". The file manager program will reload and a message will appear telling you if the directory was successfully created.

How do I delete a directory?

To delete a directory, login to the file manager and switch to the directory containing the directory you wish to delete (for example, to delete user/images/gifs go to user/images). Once you have selected your directory, look for text that says "Folders residing in the directory: The Directory Name", then look at the following lines where each of your folders is listed with a radio next to them.

Click the circle of the directory that you wish to delete and then click the "Delete Folder" button. You will be taken to another page prompting you to confirm that you want to delete the directory. If you still wish to delete the directory, simply click "Delete this directory", otherwise click your browser's back button and the directory will not be deleted.
