A common task that is often requested is that a file or folder be moved from one location to another. This movement of files can be done using the Cpanel File Manager. The following article gives you a quick tutorial on how to move files using the Cpanel File Manager's graphic interface.
There are few different ways to move files in Cpanel. You can use a method called "drag-and-drop" using a mouse attached to a computer, or you can use the interface provided in the Cpanel file manager.
For Apple Macintosh users the older mice use only one button. In some cases for multiple-button mouses, users can change the behavior of the buttons for left-handed users so that the select button (usually on the left) is moved to the right. If you are using a touchpad with a button, you will need to click on the button when the mouse pointer is over the item you want to select, then drag your finger across the pad to move the file in the screen.
Those are the two quick ways to move files in The Cpanel File Manager. Here's a before and after look at the move a file into another directory:
