Nexcess Managed Magento File Management
Effectively managing the files of your Magento store is essential for maintaining your e-shop, updating its appearance, and adding new functionality for your digital products. File management encompasses uploading new themes and extensions, managing media assets, and ensuring the correct file permissions are set for security and functionality.
On a Nexcess Managed Magento plan, you have several methods for managing your files:
- Control Panel File Manager: For quick edits or uploads, the file manager in your control panel offers a web-based interface.
- SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol): For transferring large numbers of files, such as when uploading a new extension or theme, SFTP is the most reliable and secure method.
- Command-Line Interface (CLI): Magento’s CLI is a powerful tool for developers to perform a wide range of tasks, including managing modules, clearing caches, and re-indexing, which often involve file system operations.
