How can I search for files in File Manager?

Trying to locate a specific file in your website’s directory? The WPX File Manager includes a simple search function to help you find what you need quickly.

Step 1. Log in to your WPX account

Begin by logging into your WPX account. You can do this by visiting the WPX login page.​

Step 2. Go to Control Panel

Once logged in:

  1. Locate your hosting plan in the WPX client area.
  2. Click the Control Panel button next to the plan you wish to manage.

If you have more than five hosting plans of the same type (WordPress, Agency or WooCommerce), not all may appear on the homepage. Use the WordPress Hosting, Agency Hosting or WooCommerce Hosting tab in the left-hand menu to find your service.

Step 3. Launch the File Manager

Inside the Control Panel:

  1. Click FTP Users & Files in the left-hand menu.
  2. Then click the File Manager button in the newly opened tab.

Step 4. Search for your File

Navigate to the directory where the file is likely located. (Example: domains/wpxfilemanager.com/public_html)

  1. In the search bar at the top , enter the file name or even just part of it.
  2. The File Manager will instantly filter and display matching files.

That’s it! You’ve successfully searched for a file using the WPX File Manager.
