Eldewiny 15 Points pm EST. Hello Eldewiny, What in particular are you attempting to accomplish with the file types? Are you attempting to handle them differently within your script for each? JeffMa 2, Points Staff. To do this, please review the following steps. Please note that you'll need first to be logged into your cPanel account. If you're not sure how to do this, you can refer to the following guide: How to access cPanel.

However, incorrect permissions often cause hard-to-diagnose issues. They can also be challenging to manage with chmod , the standard Linux permission management tool. In this article, we explain what permissions are and how they work, before showing you how simple it is to assign them in cPanel. Every file and folder on your server has a set of permissions. One way to see them is on the command line with the ls command. Files also have an associated group. Here the group is also called user1.

Every user has a group, and when they create a file, permissions are automatically granted to its members. That means you can download that single file directly without doing anything. The file manager compression function is needed when you want to download a folder. What you have to do is to select the folder first.

You will get a pop-up to select the type of compression you want to make, select ZIP. Now, you can see that the compression process started, and you get a full list of files that the folder contains.
