This guide will demonstrate how to duplicate a file or folder using the cPanel File Manager. Occasionally, while constructing a website, you may require a duplicate copy of a file or folder. Fortunately, the File Manager in cPanel has a feature that allows you to effortlessly copy files or folders to another location on your server.
Fun fact: Access to cPanel is not always freely available with all hosting providers. InMotion, on the other hand, offers this feature as one of the many benefits of our diverse web hosting packages.
