The File Manager in DirectAdmin allows you to upload, edit, and organise your website files directly through your browser. It’s a quick way to make changes without needing an FTP program.
Steps to upload files
- Log in to DirectAdmin.
- From the dashboard, select File Manager.
- Navigate to the folder where you want to upload files. For your main website, this is usually
public_html
. - Click Upload Files.
- Select the files from your computer and confirm the upload.
Tips
- Make sure your website’s main files are placed inside
public_html
so they are publicly accessible. - If you are replacing an existing file, uploading a new version will overwrite it.
- For multiple files, consider zipping them first, uploading the archive, and then extracting it within File Manager.
