How to use the File Manager and change your PHP version Print

  • 0

The File Manager lets you upload, edit and organise website files directly in your browser, with no FTP program needed.

Before you start: log in to your FariHost Client Area, go to Services → My Services, choose your hosting plan and click Login to Control Panel.

Use the File Manager

  1. Open the Web Files section and choose File Manager.
  2. Your website lives in the public_html folder.
  3. Use the toolbar to Upload, create folders, edit, rename or delete files. You can upload a .zip file and use Extract to unpack it.

Change the PHP version

Newer PHP versions are faster and more secure. Some older scripts need an older version.

  1. Open the Web Tools section and choose PHP Version.
  2. Pick the version your website needs (for WordPress, choose the newest version your theme and plugins support).
  3. Save. The change applies within a minute.

If your site shows an error after switching, simply change back to the previous version.
