cPanel offers a Web Disk application that you can use to manage and manipulate files using your operating system’s interface. Newer users may be most comfortable with this file management method.

The Web Disk will open a window on your computer, allowing new files to be moved, deleted, or added to the server, just as you would manage files on your personal computer.

To log into a Web Disk account:

1. Click the Access Web Disk button.
2. Choose your operating system (OS): Windows®, Mac®, or Linux.
   • Remember: Choose the version or distribution of your operating system using the appropriate pull-down menu.
3. Click Go under the appropriate operating system to download the script file.
4. Open and run the script file, accepting any certificates.

When the Web Disk configuration is completed successfully, a new window containing your website’s content will be opened on your computer. From this window, your website’s files can be managed just like you would manage files on your personal computer.

Once you have added a Web Disk account to you server, you can quickly access the account by clicking the Access Web Disk button at the main Web Disk page. You are also able to change the password, delete, or password protect directories for existing Web Disk accounts under the Actions heading in the Web Disk Accounts Management list.
