File
Manager:
This section is an alternative to using FTP; you will
be able to do the following via your web browser:
1) Upload files to your account.
2) Edit text and HTML files in your account.
3) Create folders in your account.
4) Copy or move files within your account.
5) Delete files or folders from your account.
This is a convenient way to make minor updates to your
website when a FTP client is not conveniently available.
Important note:
Do not use the filemanager to upload or edit your files
if you are using FrontPage extensions to publish your
website. Doing so may risk damaging FrontPage extensions
in your account.
