How to Copy or Move Files in cPanel File Manager?

Want to copy or move files in File Manager? Just follow the below steps:

1. Login to cPanel.

2. Go to Files and click on File Manager.

3. Click on Settings, select Web Root and Show Hidden Files in the pop-up and then click Save.

4. Find and select the files or folders that you want to copy or move (hold Ctrl to select multiple items or Shift to select a group of items), right-click on them and click on Move or Copy.

5. This will open a pop-up window where you will need to mention the file path where you want to copy this file in the field “Enter the file path that you want to copy this file to:” You can keep the /public_html and type in / and your folder name if you want to copy over your file to a directory within the public_html.

6. Then click on Copy File(s) or Move File(s) to copy or move them to the destination.

Note: The functions of the copy and move tools are comparable. The files will be moved to the new directory and removed from their existing directory (folder) by using the Move tool. The files will be copied by the Copy utility. It indicates that both the old and new directories will include the files.

Using cPanel File Manager, moving or copying files is very simple.
