# Use the file manager

## Steps

1. Go to **Websites → [site] → Files**.
2. Browse your site's folders. From here you can:
   - **Upload** files, and **unzip** archives after uploading.
   - Create a **new folder**.
   - **Rename**, **move**, or **delete** items.
   - Adjust **permissions** where needed.

## Tips

- The document root (where your site lives) is usually `public_html` or similar.
- Prefer **SFTP** for large or bulk transfers (see *Create an SFTP/FTP account*).

## Troubleshooting

- **Permission errors** — most web files should be 644 and folders 755; avoid 777.
- **Site broke after editing a file** — restore the file from a backup, or use the file manager to revert your change.
