Copying and Moving a File
iManager can copy files on your server to a new file and a new location, or
it can move or rename files.
To copy files
1.
From the iManager list of entries, go to the Copy column. File and
directory entries found in the Copy column have CP by each entry. CP
stands for the copy (UNIX) command.
2.
Select a file or directory.
3.
Click CP. This action places the file or directory in a copy dialog.
4.
Enter the name of the new copy you are creating.
Note: You are also able to change the path for your copy if you would
like to place it in a directory other than your current working directory.
To move files
1.
From the iManager list of entries, go to the Move column. File and
directory entries found in the Move column have MV by each entry.
MV stands for the move (UNIX) command.
2.
Select a file or directory.
3.
Click MV. This action places the file or directory in a move dialog.
This dialog uses the mv UNIX command that moves or renames the file
or directory.
Linking or changing permissions to a
File
iManager also allows you to link files with symbolic links. Symbolic links
enable you to have one file actually point to another file. For example, if
you have a few files with different names that are all actually the same file,
you can link them all to one file. This way if you need to change this file
you can change it once and it will affect all the linked files.
To link files
1.
From the iManager list of entries, go to the Link column. File and
directory entries found in the Link column have LN by each entry. LN
stands for the link (UNIX) command.
2.
Select a file or directory.
3.
Click LN. This action displays the Create Link to File or Create Link to
Directory page.
4.
Enter the name and path of the file you want to link to the file you
selected.
