Opening directories

Using the File Manager, you can open and manage directories on your site.

You can open a directory to see the sub-directories and files contained within it. Once you open a directory, you can then open a subdirectories within it, and in this manner, drill down in the contents of each directory.

To check where you are in the directory structure, look at the top of the Path form. The directory path is displayed there. You can always return to a previous directory level.

To open a directory:

1. Click the Shortcuts tab on the Home page
   .

2. In the shortcuts area, click Manage Files (File Manager section). The directory list is displayed.

3. On the directory list, locate the directory you want to open, then click the underlined name of that directory, for example, click var.

The directory window opens, displaying the sub-directories and files contained within it.

4. To open a subdirectory, locate the subdirectory you want to open, and click the underlined name of that subdirectory.

After you open a directory, you can:

- Create additional directories

- Rename existing directories

- View directory properties

- Change directory permissions

- Copy and move directories

- Remove directories

# Returning to a previous directory level

To return to a previous directory level after browsing to a directory, in the Name area of the Path form, click at the top of the directory list. The previous directory level is displayed.
