File management

In your SWPanel, you have a File Manager with which you can manage and administer the directories and files of your Web.

To access the file manager, you must first search for the service where the website to be managed is located, using the top search engine of your SWPanel.

Once inside the dashboard of your service, you must select the option File Manager, which you will find in the left side menu in blue color, by selecting the option Service management.

From this section, you will be able to view the directories and files of your web and manage them as you wish, using the [...] menu that appears to the right of each one of them.
