    First enter the Files tab and focus the directory where you want to create the new directory or file before you select the proper button to start a wizard that guides you through the creation process.

    Create directory
    To create a directory simply select Create directory The only thing you need to do in this wizard is to specify the new directory name and then confirm that you are satisfied with the path to your new directory.

    Create file
    To create a new file select either Edit new file to create a new file or Upload to upload an existing file from the local file system.

    A wizard guides you through the whole creation process to minimize the risk of an unwanted, misplaced or incorrect file to be created. The upload wizard will first ask which file to upload, then you are asked for a name to be given to the file. The directory in which the file will be placed is given to the left in the wizard, to minimize the risk of misplacing the file.

    In the second page you select which meta data your new file will have. The most important meta data is which type the file will have and, if it is a HTML file, what template the file will use. The type tells the server how to parse it and the template tells the server what layout and structure will be applied to it. Meta data is explained more thoroughly in the meta data page. By selecting Ok you exit the wizard and the new file has been created. The meta data can later be changed by selecting Edit meta data in the Files tab.


    To make a file correspond to the HTML file type it is not necessary to put the extension .html behind the filename as it is parsed as a HTML file if the type is set to HTML in the meta data.

    If an extension like .html is used however, the server will choose the right file type automatically if it recognizes the extension. The administrator can configure the server to recognize additional file types by their typical extensions.
