File Manager

The File Manager is used by the site administrator to upload, edit, and delete files from your website. Understanding how to use the File Manager is an important part of working with OpenEdit. You can use the tree on the left to browse through your OpenEdit site's directory structure by using the arrows to open and close folders. If you click on the name of a file or folder, it will open that content in a new tab to the right of the tree. When working on several files at once, you can leave each open in its own tab. This saves the time and hassle of digging back through the file tree. To close a tab, simply click the red X in the corner of the tab.

File Manager options

You can perform many actions on your files and folders through the File Manager. To access the menu, select a folder from the tree on the left, then move your cursor over the pencil icon to make the menu appear. You will be able to select from the following list of actions:
