The Enhance File Manager lets you manage your website’s files directly from your browser — no FTP client needed.

​
Accessing the File Manager

  1. Log in to your Enhance control panel.
  2. Select the website you want to manage.
  3. In the left sidebar, click File Manager.
The File Manager opens showing your website’s document root, where your site files live.

​
What you can do

  • Upload files — drag and drop files or use the upload button. You can upload archives (zip) and extract them on the server.
  • Create files and folders — use the New button to create empty files or directories.
  • Edit files — open text files (HTML, PHP, CSS, JS, .htaccess, etc.) in the built-in editor and save changes directly.
  • Move, copy, rename, and delete — standard file operations on single files or selections.
  • Extract and compress — unzip uploaded archives, or compress folders for download.
  • Change permissions — set file and folder permissions when an application requires it.
For a typical website, directories should have permissions 755 and files 644. Avoid setting anything to 777 — it’s a security risk.

​
Uploading a website

To upload an existing site:
  1. Compress your site files into a .zip archive locally.
  2. In the File Manager, navigate to the document root.
  3. Upload the zip file.
  4. Right-click the archive and choose Extract.
  5. Ensure your site’s index file (index.html or index.php) sits directly in the document root.

When to use FTP instead

For very large uploads or automated deployments, an FTP/SFTP connection can be more reliable than browser uploads. See Managing FTP accounts in Enhance for how to set this up.
