File Management: How to Rename Files and Folders Using File Manager
- Log into your Control Panel.
- Go to File Manager.
- Locate the file or directory you want to rename.
- Double-click on the file or directory.
- Type in a new name.
- Click Save.
Important: You cannot rename a file to match another file within the same directory. Likewise, you cannot rename a directory to match another directory within the same location.
Can I Use Special Characters In Folder or File Names
Both your website and File Manager will work best if you limit your characters to the following types:
| Allowed Character Type | Folder Name Example | File Name Example |
| Letters | mywebsite | index.html |
| Numbers | my1stwebsite | page1.html |
| Hyphens | my-website | page-1.html |
| Underscores | my_website | page_1.html |
