The File manager is used to manage the files uploaded to the website. It is a view into the files within the portal directory for the website. By default the skins and containers directory are not visible.
The File manager is divided into 3 areas:
- a main area divided into two with a folder tree navigation view on the left and a file list with properties on the right in the main area
- Actions in two rows at the top above the main area
- A bottom area showing permission options
