Move - Move selected files to another directory with your server. Remove - Permanently erase selected files.
Copy - Create a copy of the selected files
Rename - Rename select files
Download - Download selected files to an archive format.
Zip - Archive files and save them to the server.
Unzip - Extract the contents of an archive into the directory you're currently in.

Creating New Folder and Files
You can create new files or folders directly from your panel by using the New Dir, New File, or Upload option on the left-hand side menu.
New Dir - Create a new directory (or folder)
New File Create new plain text files.
Upload - Upload a set of files or an archive.

This limitation is set at 50MB, any file commit or upload larger than this size will have to be performed with a third Party FTP client, such as Filezilla. Third-party clients like Filezilla do not have a file size limitation since it connects with your server files directly as opposed to the web-based FTP client.
