cPanel File Manager vs. Legacy File Manager
Posted by: admin : Category: cPanel & WHM
Prior to cPanel X (version 10), the File Manager works without any glitch. With the release of the new version, that is cPanel X, they added AJAX to enrich the interface of File Manager.
With some users complaining of several glitches in the “new” File Manager (FM), i.e. not seeing immediately a folder that you had just created; or the File Manager will simply not work on several “networked environments”, cPanel DID NOT removed the former FM, it was just renamed to “Legacy File Manager.”
So, if you will ask me which one do I use, I stick with the Legacy File Manager for the time being.

I am wondering if this has been resolved with ver. 11

I have used the file manager up to now, but very slowly, but suddenly it stoppet showing my files today, and stopped uploding new files. And I do not have an idea of the reason.
Then I tried the legacy file manager again, and it works very fine.
Even though the file manager worked correctly up to now, the slowness was of so great a problem that I do not see any adantage of the new file manager that make it worth using it.

Hasn’t anybody ever heard of FTP! Why use a limited online file manager when you can get much more power and versatility from an FTP client!!

I find the Legacy File Manager to be the best of the two, it’s very easy to use. A fantastic time-saving tool.
