Other Information

I uploaded a 4.5 MB file named here_points.js to /htdocs/here, but it appears empty when I try to edit it.
Thank you.

the online file manager is not really designed for editing files.

To be honest, Its buggy all round, you’d be better using something like FileZilla to upload files, and when you make a change just reupload the files each time.

But I don’t want to edit, it appears that a variable declared in this file is not visible in min script.
So I tried to see the content of file and it is empty.

Oh I see.

Although having re-read your post I think I see the problem. There are strict file size limits for what you can upload, you’ll find more info here:

Why are my files deleted after uploading them

Sometimes, when you upload a file, the upload is completed but the file is deleted immediately afterwards. This is usually caused by one of the following issues: The file is not in a htdocs folder All websites files must be uploaded to either the main htdocs folder, or to the domain specific htdocs folder (like example.com/htdocs). You cannot upload files to other directories on your account. If you try to create or upload files anywhere else, they will be deleted automatically. The file type…

But the bit your intrested in is:

@Admin

The size limits are:

• HTML, PHP and JS files are limited to 1 MB.
• .htaccess files are limited to 10 kB.
• All other files are limited to 10 MB.

so a JS file of 4.5mb exceeds the 1mb limit. So you could probably see it before it got deleted, but couldn’t access the contence because it’s been deleted.

Thanks for the reply. I’m surprised because the 4.5 MB upload worked the first time. Are JSON files allowed to be uploaded?

[ionTrds]

Apologies for the follow-up. After renaming the file to have a .json extension and uploading, the Filemanager editor is still empty.

[dan3008]

It will upload, it’s just deleted on the next file sweep after its been uploaded.

I’m not sure on the file size limits for .json. I would assume 10mb but given its still a javascript based file (JavaScript Object Notation) it might fall under the 1mb limit.

There is another lesser-known rare glitch in the online file manager where, when you try to edit a file, the styles of the editor sometimes do not load (which I guess you are encountering). Usually, clearing the cache for the file manager website works. If it doesn’t work, then as we suggested, edit it with FileZilla.
