File Manager

HostGator's file management tool is a web-based file manager that uploads and downloads files, moves online, and supports decompression. Its operation style is very close to the resource manager of the system, and it also supports right-click operation, including website upload, file transfer and other functions, and the operation is simple, easy to use, and fast. It is one of the "host benefits" that other hosts cannot give.

Perfect support for Chinese ~

All right, let's start by introducing how to use HostGator's file management tool.

1. First of all, we need to log in to the background control panel, then find "File Management" in the "Files" category and click to enter:

In the directory selection box, we can choose a more specific address according to the directory we want to open to facilitate quick access, or we can choose the home directory to enter, click "Go" to enter the main interface of the file manager, and there are operation instructions at the top of the interface. After selecting the objects to be operated, we can use these operation instructions to operate accordingly. Instructions include: create a folder, copy / move, upload / download, delete a file, rename, edit the html code of a file, compress and extract, and so on.

Is it strong enough to support so many features?

At the bottom of the interface is a file management window similar to the Windows system Explorer interface, with a file tree on the left and a file manipulation window on the right, which supports double-click and right-click operations.

When using this tool, you should pay attention to select the file and then select the operation instructions, such as decompressing a file, first select the package, and then select the decompression in the operation instructions for the next step.

In addition, you can right-click most of the instructions, and you can right-click the file you want to operate to do what you want:

two。 An example shows how to upload a compressed package and decompress it online.

In order to explain in more detail how to use the file manager for file upload, modification and other operations, we find a webmaster who often encounters the upload of Wordpress topics as an example to demonstrate how to do so:

First of all, we need to know that the theme of Wordpress is placed in the themes folder of the wp-content folder in the background, so as long as you upload the theme to this directory, you can use the theme in the WP background. However, the HostGator file manager currently does not support uploading folders, so we first need to compress and package the topics to be uploaded (they must be compressed into .zip format). Upload it and unzip it.

Choose zip format compression when compressing the theme.

Now open the file manager and enter the themes folder in Wordpress through the tree management on the left. In addition, you can double-click in the right interface to open the directory. After entering the themes folder, click upload, and a new browser page pops up, as shown in the figure:

File upload page

Click "Select File" to select the compressed theme file, and after confirmation, the system will automatically start uploading. You can see the upload progress in the lower right corner. Usually a theme of several hundred k takes only a few seconds to upload "complete".

At this point, go back to the file manager, and then click "Reload", and you can see that the uploaded compressed files are in this directory.

Click to select the package and leave it in blue, click the selected object and select "extract" in the command bar, or right select "Extrack", then there will be a pop-up box asking the decompression address and whether to continue, select "Extract File (s)". When we see the next step, we will tell what file or folder has been created, then click "Close" to close the pop-up box and click again.

"reload" to see the unzipped file. In this way, the new theme is officially uploaded, and in order to save space, the little crocodile advocates deleting the compressed package and cleaning up the junk files in time.

Although the HostGator virtual host is unlimited space, it has a limit on the number of files (up to 250000), so we should pay attention to saving and cultivate their own good habits.

At this point, the study on "how to configure the DNS and file management of the HostGator crocodile host" is over. I hope to be able to solve your doubts.
