2. Click on File Manager and press Go

4. Press the select all button from the top

5. Right click and then select Move option

6. Then enter the path you would like to move the file to and click Move File(s)

One of the causes of seeing the 500 internal error page on your web site could be wrong permissions of your web page. This happens when the page you are trying to load has a permission of 777 (editable by everyone), You must make sure that your files have a permission of 755.

1. How to change File Permissions using FTP

With speedhost.in we provide you 2 very easy ways to upload your files. You could either use FTP (file transfer protocol) or you could upload files using the File Manager which is web based and can be accessed from any browser.

Using FTP makes uploading much faster as it is a desktop based software and you do not have to login to your cPanel every time you need to add / edit / delete a file. FTP also lets you upload folder in one go where as the File Manager would only allow you to upload one file at a time.

With FTP you can also change file / folder permissions in a jiffy. If you don’t have a FTP, you can download one from free at FileZilla
