Copying and Moving Files

You can copy and move files on your site from one directory to another by using the Clipboard Contents section of the File Manager. You can remove the Clipboard contents at any time.

Note: You must own the file you are copying or moving. You also must have write permissions to the directory into which you are copying or moving the files. To determine permissions, you can view directory properties.

To copy or move a file:

1. Click the Shortcuts tab on the Home page.
   

   To get to the Home page, click Home on the navigation bar at left.

2. In the shortcuts area, click Manage Files (File Manager section). The directory list is displayed.
3. If necessary, browse to the directory that contains the file you want to copy or move.
4. In the Name area of the Path form, locate the file you want to copy or move, and select the check box next to it.
5. In the Commands area of the Path form, click Add File(s) to Clipboard.

   File Manager displays the file name in the Clipboard Contents area of the Path form.

6. Browse to the directory into which you want to copy or move the file.

   The directory window of the destination directory opens.

7. In the Clipboard Contents area of the Path form, locate the name of the file you want to move or copy and select the check box next to it.
8. Do one of the following:
   • To copy the file to this destination directory, click Copy.
   • To move the file to this destination directory, click Move.

Note: If the Move operation fails, File Manager compensates by making a copy of the file in the destination directory; however, you must manually remove the file from its original directory.
