Working With Container Files and Folders

For a running Container, you can navigate inside the Container directory structure, list the Container files and directories and perform all essential file operations on the File Manager page. ( Right after opening this screen, you are presented with a list of drives inside the Container. Click on a drive (e.g. C:) to see its contents.) The main information on the directory/drive contents is presented in the form of a table. The first table column indicates if the object is a directory or a file. The remaining columns mean the following:

Column Name	Description
Name	The name of the directory or file.
Size	The size of the file.
Modified	The date and time of the last modification of the directory or file.
Permissions	The first symbol in this column indicates if this is a directory (the letter `d` ) or not (the minus sign). The following three symbols designate the permissions that the owner of the directory/file has on it, then go another three symbols for the permissions of the users belonging to the group assigned to the directory/file, and the final set of three symbols denotes the permissions of all the rest. The symbols in each of the set express consecutively the following permissions: read, write, and execute. The presence of a letter (correspondingly, `r` , `w` , or `x` ) indicates that the permission is given, and the minus sign - that it is absent.
User	The owner of the file/directory.
Group	The users' group that has certain permissions on the file/folder. These permissions are presented by the 5th thru 7th symbols in the Permissions column.
Actions	Hyperlinks for performing certain operations with the directory or file (see below).

Note: If the Container is being repaired , the file manager root directory ( / ) corresponds to the /repair directory of the temporary Container, in other words, it represents the root directory of the problem Container, not that of the newly-created one.

Apart from viewing a list of files and directories with their essential properties, you are able to perform the following operations:

Create a new folder in the current directory ;
Create a new text file in the current directory ;
Edit existing text files ;
Upload a file from your local computer to the current Container directory ;
Download a file from the current Container directory to your local computer (by clicking the diskette icon in the Actions column);
Copy any number of files or folders to another directory inside the Container ;
Move any number of files or folders to another directory inside the Container ;
Edit the properties of any folder or file ;
Remove any number of files or folders by selecting them and following the Remove link.

To perform a certain operation (e.g. copying) on a number of directories or files, tick the corresponding checkboxes. The uppermost checkbox allows you to select all the directories and files at once.
