Notes:

• When a toolbar action is not available, the function icon turns gray.
• Certain File Manager functions are designed for use with only one file at a time. Select the desired file in the file window before you attempt these actions.
• Any attempt to Rename, Edit, or View multiple files at once will only affect the first listed file in the directory.
• The Extract and Compress functions will only work with the .zip format if Zip is installed on your server.
