Overview
Often, changing the name of a file is
a necessary adjustment to the parts of
a website. A file’s name can be changed
by using the Rename File function in the
File Manager.
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 icon next to the file you
wish to rename
3 Click on the words Rename File on the
right hand side of the screen
4 Type the new name for the file in the
blank field next to the button marked Rename
5 When finished typing the new name of
the file, click on the button marked Rename
NOTE: If the rename was successful, the
following will appear (except filename1
will be the old name of the file, filename2
will be the new name, and /home/folder
will be the name of the directory you are
in):
Renamed filename1 -> filename2 in /home/folder/
Troubleshooting
When renaming files, make sure to keep
the same file extensions or they may not
be able to be executed or viewed.
