paingold Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 The user interface is horrible. It's driving me nutz. Quote
TCH-Dick Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 (edited) Please expalin. Is it just the layout or something else? No need to explain as I just realized your topic also says "File Manager". File Manger is the worst part of cPanel. It takes forver to upload files and most of the time changes to file permissions don't take. I only use it if I need to edit an individual file other than that I use FTP. Edited October 24, 2004 by TCH-Dick Quote
TCH-Don Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 LOL agreed, It took me a while to realize that you click on the folder icon to go into the folder and click on the file name to do something to it. Thats why most use an ftp program. Quote
boxturt Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Ohhhhhhhhh, you mean we're supposed to use those??? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 I've use an FTP client from day one. Didn't even know there was a file manager for months. But I do use it now as TCH-Dick does. When I need to edit something quickly I will do it with the file manager. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 I use file manager all the time. Never had a problem with it. What are you guys talking about? Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 (edited) I stay out of file manager if I can. Not that I dont like it, but open ftp, connect and navigate to the correct server, folder etc takes lots more clicks than in a browser. Edited October 25, 2004 by TCH-Thomas Quote
crippen Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Yes an FTP client is preferred, however I really don't mind the File Manager too much. I'm curious though about what TCH-Dick said - are there problems in permission changes not taking? Quote
TCH-Rob Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 I'm curious though about what TCH-Dick said - are there problems in permission changes not taking? Sometimes. I dont see it often and it hasnt happened to me yet. Quote
MikeJ Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 I'm curious though about what TCH-Dick said - are there problems in permission changes not taking? There are two parts to the permission changes.... the read/write/execute checkboxes and the Permissions values. If you change the permissions by selecting the correct checkboxes and hit save, it should work 100% of the time. If you change the permssions by trying to set the numeric values and hit save, it will do nothing (your permissions won't change). Poor design on cPanel's part. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 That must be why it works for me, I use the check boxes. Quote
