How to Upload and Manage Files with the Webuzo File Manager

The Webuzo File Manager lets you handle your website’s files straight from your browser — uploading, editing, moving, zipping and deleting — without installing any software. It is the quickest way to make small changes or upload a few files.

Open the File Manager

1. Log in to your Webuzo Enduser Panel.
2. Open the Files section and click File Manager.
3. Your website’s files live in public_html (for your main domain). Double-click a folder to open it.

Everyday file tasks

• Upload: click Upload, then drag files in or browse for them.
• Edit: select a text file and choose Edit to change it in place — great for quick tweaks to config files.
• Move or copy: select an item and use the Move/Copy buttons to relocate it.
• Compress & extract: zip files to download them together, or extract an uploaded archive right on the server.
• Permissions: right-click and choose Change Permissions if an app needs a folder writable (755 for folders, 644 for files is a safe default).

A tip for large uploads

Uploading hundreds of files one by one is slow. Instead, zip them on your computer, upload the single archive, then extract it in the File Manager. For very large transfers, FTP is often more reliable.

Frequently asked questions

Where do my website files go?

Your main site’s files belong in public_html. Addon domains and subdomains each have their own folder, set when you created them.

I uploaded my site but see a blank page or index list.

Make sure your main file is named index.html or index.php, and that it sits directly in the correct document root rather than a subfolder.

Can I edit files without downloading them?

Yes — use the built-in Edit option to change text and code files directly on the server.
