To upload files through Plesk File Manager:
- Log in to Plesk control panel.
- Click the domain name you need.
- Click the File Manager icon in the Hosting group.
- Create and upload files and directories.
Place the files and directories that should be accessible via HTTP protocol to the httpdocs directory, and files/directories that should be transferred securely over SSL protocol to the httpsdocs directory. Place your CGI scripts into the cgi-bin directory.
- To create a new directory within your current location, click theAdd New Directory button.
- To create new files in the required directory, clickAdd New File, in the File creation section specify the file name, select the Use html template check box, if you want file manager to insert some basic html tags to the new file, and click OK. A page will open allowing you to enter the content or html-formatted source of a new file. After you are done, click OK.
- To upload a file from the local machine, clickAdd New File, specify the path to its location in the File source box (or use the Browse button to locate the file), and click OK.
When you upload web content through File Manager or FTP, your control panel automatically sets the appropriate access permissions for files and directories. The permissions are represented as three sets of symbols, for example, 'rwx rwx r--'. The first set tells what the owner of the file or directory can do with it; the second tells what the user group, the file or directory belongs to, can do with the file or directory; the third set indicates what other users (the rest of the world, i.e. Internet users visiting a site) can do with the file or directory. R means the permission to read the file or directory, W means the permission to write to the file or directory, and X means the permission to execute the file or look inside the directory.
To modify permissions for a file or directory, in the
Permissions column, click the respective hyperlink representing the set of permissions. Modify the permissions as desired and click
OK.
