How to edit a file on my hosting account?

HostKnox customers can edit files using the File Manager in the Pixie control panel. All you need to do to edit a file is click on it, make the changes you want and then click Save Changes to save them.

You can also edit a file by downloading it with your favorite FTP client (e.g. FileZilla), editing it with a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and then uploading it back to your hosting account, overwriting the old file.

Another way to modify a file is to log in to your web hosting account via SSH and open the file using vim or nano. HostKnox offers free SSH access for all hosting accounts, so all of our customers can take advantage of this feature.
