The Plesk panel of the Virtuozzo software is commonly used in web hosting plans; its features are designed to aid the user in managing and manipulating the website through providing tools needed to accomplish loads of tasks in lesser time.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) management through Virtuozzo includes four task panes Start and/or Stop VPS, Change Password, File Manager, Maintenance, and Resources.

The File Manager is a software tool used to upload, rename, and delete files in the VPS; changing file permissions are also done in this area of the Virtuozzo software.

The simple tutorial below serves as a step by step guide on the proper usage of the File Manager in Plesk:

1. Log into the Virtuozzo Power Panel (VZPP).

2. To use the File Manager in the Power Panel, click the “File Manager” Link located at the upper left side of the window.

3. Click “C:” directory to navigate the folder.

4. The list of folders that are in the “C:” directory is now visible. To create a new folder in the “C:” directory, click “Create Folder.”
(Aligned with the “Create Folder” button are the “Create File” and “Upload File,” these functions will be further discussed in the latter part of this manual.)

5. Type the desired folder name in the box provided, for this instance “NewFolder” is the file name.

6. Then click the “Create” button.

The window will then be redirected to the “C:” directory, where the newly created file “NewFolder” can be viewed along with the other folders.

7. To rename a folder, click on the icon beside the time detail.
(In this view a check box can be seen in the left side of each folder name and icon. The right side contains the details of the folder such as the date and time it was last modified; further to the right are the action icons.)

8. Enter the new folder name in the space provided.

9. Click the “Submit” button.
(The new folder name can then be seen in the “C:” directory, as the screen has already been redirected.)

10. To browse the folder, click it. For this example, “NewFolder” is being opened.

11. To upload a file to the opened folder, click the “Upload File” button.

12. Then click “Browse.”

13. Search and select the file to be uploaded.

14. Click “Open.”

15. Click “Upload.”
(The file has now been uploaded to the specified folder.)

16. To rename the file click the “File Properties” icon on the right side of the file to be renamed.

17. Encode the name of the file in the box beside “Name*.”

18. Click “Submit.”

19. The file that was renamed can now be viewed in the designated folder.

20. To delete a file from the VPS, tick the box beside the file name.

21. Click “Remove.”
(A small window will pop out to confirm the deletion of the file.)

Click the “OK” button.
(The file is now removed from the directory.)

22. To remove the “NewDirectory” folder, that is currently open, click the “Up” icon.

23. The contents of the “C: “folder can now be viewed, look for the “NewDirectory” folder.

24. Click the check box beside the “NewDirectory” folder.

25. Scroll down and click “Remove.”

26. Confirm by clicking the “OK” button.
(The “NewDirectory” folder that was previously created has now been deleted.)

27. Click the “Up” folder, the window will then return to the “C:” main folder.

28. Click “Top” to return to the main screen.

29. This concludes the tutorial on how to navigate, and use files by using the File Manager in the Power Panel.
