Overview
You can create files in any directory
on your site by using the Create New File
option in the File Manager, This option
allows you to create a text, html or script
file in the directory you are currently
in.
Steps
1 To access the FILE MANAGER, click on
the icon
above the words File Manager on the main
screen of your cPanel interface.
2 Click on the words Create New File
3 Type the name of the new file in the
blank field above the drop-box containing
the words Text Document
4 Click on the drop-box containing the
words Text Document and select the type
of file you wish to create
5 Click on the box marked Create
NOTE: If the file was created successfully,
the following will appear (except filename
will be the name of the file you have created
and /home/directory will be the directory
you have created the file in. File Type
will be replaced with the type of file
you have created):
Creation of filename (File Type) succeeded
in/home/directory
Troubleshooting
Make sure to create the proper type of
file for it’s contents. A file created
with an improper file type may not work
in the manner which you wish it to. For
example, a HTML Document that is created
as a Perl Script will not work, it needs
to be created as a HTML Document. |
