Quick answer
Copy retains the original item; Move changes its location. Check both paths and existing destination files before continuing.
Applies to
For Interactive Online cPanel customers with File Manager access. The retained tutorial shows an older interface; this guidance uses current File Manager task names.
Steps
- Sign in to the intended Interactive Online service and confirm that File Manager is enabled. Use a harmless example or isolated folder when learning.
- Select the intended item, choose Copy or Move, and read the complete destination path. Preserve a recovery copy before moving live application files.
- Read the result back and open the affected page when the task changes public content. Keep the pre-change copy until verification passes.
Check the result
Check both locations after the operation and test any page that refers to the item. Moving a media file can break links.
Troubleshooting and support
For Permission denied, a missing folder or a different page, compare the actual account, path and permissions first. Do not make unrelated files writable to bypass the error.
Contact support from the owning account with the domain, product/version, exact error, time/time zone and redacted evidence. Exclude credentials, session URLs, payment details and private customer records. Confirm any separate application-support scope.
