Uploading & Unpacking via File Manager
The cPanel File Manager replaces the need for old-school desktop FTP clients. It allows you to drag-and-drop file structures, edit raw code files directly on the server, adjust system permissions, and clean files via your browser.
To begin, navigate to the public_html directory inside File Manager. This is the root folder that houses all public files. Uploading files compressed in `.zip` archives is highly recommended as it cuts transfer time by up to 90% compared to individual files. Once uploaded, right-click the file and choose **Extract**.
💡 Pro Tip:
Use the built-in search bar inside cPanel File Manager to instantly find hidden files like .htaccess or specific code configurations without navigating complex folder structures manually.
The Backup Wizard: Total Data Safety
Alongside manual File Manager uploads, Aryanispe Host integrates the **Backup Wizard** within cPanel. Keeping offline copies of your databases and site files protects your business against accidents, theme incompatibilities, or system updates.
- Full Account Backups: Generates a full archive of all files, email accounts, forwarders, and MySQL databases in a single compressed file.
- Partial Backups: Allows downloading or restoring only the home directory files, MySQL databases, or email configurations individually.
- One-Click Restores: Easily restore directories by simply dragging your backup ZIP back into the Backup Wizard portal.
Safe Permissions Checklist
To prevent malicious scripts from modifying your systems while allowing your web server (like LiteSpeed) to execute files correctly, always adhere to standard file permission numbers:
- All standard code files (e.g. `index.html`, `config.php`): **0644**
- All directory folders: **0755**
- High-security database credential files (e.g. `wp-config.php`): **0600** or **0640**
