Viewing a file's contents
 

Overview
You can use the File Manager to view the text inside a text or script file, or to view 
the image from an image file by using the Show File Contents option.


Steps
1  To access the FILE MANAGER, click on the icon above the words File Manager 
on the main screen of your cPanel interface.


2  Click on the icon next to the file which you wish to view the contents of. (Note: 
clicking the icon opens a file. Clicking the name of the file 
selects it for modification, etc.)



3  Click on the "View" icon at the top of the screen:

4  A new window will appear containing the contents of that file.

5  To return to the File Manager simply close the window containing the file’s 
contents.


Troubleshooting
 

The file’s contents are viewed in a separate window. You will need to close the 
window or go back to your other browser window to return to the file manager.
