Edit Website Files via the File Manager

Summary

You are able to use the File Manager to make changes to many of the files on your account. Please keep in mind that if you are using a dynamic website (Blog, CMS, Shopping Cart, ect) these instructions might not apply.

Finding the file name

Just Host provides the space to place your site. It is not in scope of Just Host support to fix, create, modify, edit, move, copy, etc. the files. It is our intention and hope that you understand this before you begin, or hire a professional to do it if you are unable. There are facilities in place to edit the code which forms your pages. You can get into the source code for a given page, pretty easily by doing the following: First as you're browsing the 'page' note the filename of it, you'll need the filename in a minute.

For the URL:

             http://www.example.com/page-name.html
          

The filename would be: page-name.html
