How to search for and locate specific files or directories within your website's file structure using the File Manager in cPanel.
Here is how to search for and locate specific files or directories within your website's file structure using the File Manager in cPanel at dotCanada.com:
Log into your dotCanada.com cPanel account.
In the Files section, click on "File Manager".
The File Manager will open in a new window/tab. This shows the full file structure for your website's hosting account.
To search for a specific file or directory: • Click on the "Search" icon (looks like a magnifying glass) at the top of the File Manager window. • In the search box that appears, enter the full or partial name of the file/directory you want to find. • Check the appropriate boxes to specify if you want to search file names, contents, or both. • Click "Search" to initiate the search.
dotCanada.com's File Manager will display all matching results from your search query. • You can navigate through the results using the "Next" and "Previous" buttons. • Click on any result to open that file or navigate to that directory location.
Pro Tips: • Use wildcards like * or ? to search for partial names if you don't know the full name. • Check "Search subdirectories" to include subdirectories in your search scope. • The "Filter" option allows you to only show certain types of files in the results.
By using the search function in the File Manager, you can quickly pinpoint the exact location of any file or folder within your dotCanada.com website hosting account's file structure. This saves a lot of time compared to manually browsing through directories.
