[cPanel] Not able to move or copy files in File Manager

[Gio]

I'm trying to move around files in File Manager for my site, and I've never experienced this before. It's giving me errors that says Permission Denied, and it's rather annoying.

What could be causing this, and if you're going to post that FTP is better or why on Earth am I using File Manager, save yourself the trouble and don't post. 😛

Check the permissions (chmod) for the files you're trying to move, and the folders you're moving to & from.

But FTP is better.

That aside, I've found the File Manager in latter versions of CPanel to be buggy, I tend to avoid it if possible.

I checked the permissions, and it's being a pain. I might have to suck it up and use FTP. 😛<br /><br />-- September 2nd, 2013, 11:04 pm --<br /><br />Gah, now I can't even see my files in FileZilla.

Are you in the right folder, some ftp accounts can be set to only acess a certain folder.

Are you using a VPS? Sounds like a chown problem (Something I recently had to solve on my own VPS)

Sounds a lot like that, If you're on a VPS go to the user directory and chown all the files to your user. Pretty sure cPanel doesn't make any files needed to be owned by another user in public_html

cd /home/<user>/public_html
chown -R user:user *

Although if you are on shared hosting, Contact the hoster.

This is the error I get when trying to move or copy files:

Have you asked your Host? It could be a permission error on your host's side; as the owners of hosts (Like myself) can limit a user's access to many things on their cpanel by permissions.
