File Server Interface Basics

The Plesk File Server interface is generally the same as that of other Plesk pages. Please, read the instructions below to familiarize yourself with the Plesk interface basics.

A Plesk page includes the following elements:

  1. top area contains the logo image
  2. navigation pane contains navigation items and the context help area
  3. work area contains the groups of available operations (based on the current context), input forms, lists, and other similar interface elements

The Plesk work area includes all interface elements located to the right of the navigation pane. The work area displays the options available for the shortcut selected in the navigation pane. For example, if you select the Modules shortcut in the navigation pane, the work area will display all currently installed Plesk modules.

Path bar is a chain of links indicating your current location within the Plesk system. It is located at the top of the Plesk work area. By clicking these links, you can jump to one or more levels up. You can also use the Up Level button located in the upper right corner of each screen to return to the previous page.

Lists of objects. You may have a considerable number of objects, such as users, shares, etc., handled by your Plesk module. To facilitate working with different lists of objects, use the Search and Sorting options.

To search through a list, enter the search pattern into the Search field, and click Search. All matching items will be displayed in a reduced list. To show the entire list of objects, click Show All.

To sort a list by a certain parameter in either ascending or descending order, click on the parameter's name in the column heading. The order of sorting will be indicated by a small triangle displayed next to the parameter's name.

To remove an entry from the list, check the boxes at the end of the list and click Remove Selected.
