Copy or Move a File

You can copy or move a file to the current directory or the backup directory to organize and back up your files. However, you cannot move or overwrite the files in the default directories.

When copying files, you may want to adopt a naming convention for old or backup copies of a working file. The File Manager default file name is copy_<filename>. Be consistent with whatever naming convention you choose.

1. Click Configuration on the navigation pane.
2. Expand Site Configuration, and then double-click File Manager.
   The File Manager opens on the content pane.
3. Select the directory that contains the file from the Switch To drop-down list.
4. Click the Copy icon in the Action column of the file you want to copy or move.
5. To move the copy of the file to the backup directory, select it using the directory drop-down list in the current directory.
6. To change the resulting file name from the default copy_<filename>, enter the new name in the text box to the right of the directory drop-down list.
7. Click Save to copy or move the file to the specified directory and file name.
8. Enter a brief comment in the Comment field to help you track the editing history. For information about viewing the editing history, see Log File Management.
9. To create additional copies of the same file, repeat steps 3 through 8.
10. Click Cancel to return to the directory with the copied file.
