2. Go to site root directory, where the required file will be located, or its subdirectory. The path to the root directory looks like this:

   • For a site on a subdomain - example.com/subdomainwhere example.com - the name of your site, and subdomain - the name of the subdomain of this site.
3. Download the file from your PC to this directory. The download process using the file manager is described in detail here.

   • For a site on the main domain:
     • If the file was uploaded directly to the root directory - http://example.com/file.phpwhere file.php Is the name of the uploaded file.
     • If the file was uploaded to any of the subdirectories - http://example.com/directory/file.phpwhere file.php Is the name of the uploaded file, and directory - the name of the subdirectory where it was loaded.
   • For a site on a subdomain:
     • If the file was uploaded directly to the root directory - http://subdomain.example.com/file.phpwhere file.php Is the name of the uploaded file.
     • If the file was uploaded to any of the subdirectories - http://subdomain.example.com/directory/file.phpwhere file.php Is the name of the uploaded file, and directory - the name of the subdirectory where it was loaded.
