  1. Login to your cPanel control panel.
    2. under the Files section of cPanel, click the File Manager icon. A new window will pop up.
    • If the pop-up box does not appear, click the "Settings" button to the top right corner while using File Manager then select Show Hidden Files (dotfiles) and save!

  2. Ensure the check box for Show Hidden Files (dotfiles) is selected.
  3. Click "GO".
