Troubleshooting

File won’t open in editor

Cause: Binary files (images, PDFs, executables) cannot be edited as text.

Solution: Download binary files, edit locally, and re-upload.

Upload failed

Cause: File is too large or exceeds disk quota.

Solution:

  1. Check disk usage in the panel
  2. Delete unnecessary files
  3. Compress large files before uploading

Folder appears empty

Cause: Wrong domain or path selected.

Solution:

  1. Verify the domain selector at the top of the page
  2. Switch to the correct domain
  3. Navigate to the /public_html/ folder
