Copying and moving directories

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

- Note: You must own the directory you are copying or moving. Further, you must have write permission for the directory into which you are copying or moving the directories.

To copy or move 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. Browse to the directory you want to copy or move.

4. In the Name area of the Path form, locate the directory 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.

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

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

The directory window of the destination directory opens.
