Using the Built-in File Manager
Using the Built-in File Manager
HexonCP offers a premium visual web file manager. To prevent path traversal attacks, all paths are strictly verified against the user webroot boundary /home/hosting/webusers/{username}. Review Directory Structure.
Step-by-Step UI Guide:
- Open your **Website Dashboard** in the panel.
- Click File Manager in the sidebar menu.
- The panel loads a graphical folder view of your website directory.
- From here, you can upload files via drag-and-drop, create new files/folders, extract `.zip` files, or use the built-in code editor to edit file code directly.
