How can I create new directories and files from Admin?

Hosts don't rewrite anything when they do backups - they just copy your files, databases, etc., so your site will be the same as you left it.

I'm one of those folks who thinks it makes more sense to develop on the server your site will be hosted on. You do need to do your own regular backups, even during development.

Steve, I haven't found a place in Admin that allows me to backup. Can you point me to a feature that I must be overlooking?

There is none in admin. I use this:

Steve, wouldn't this need to be downloaded on the web host server as that is where the original zen cart files are located? The shopping cart is added to my website name until everything works and then it will be copied over as the primary website files.

Yes, it would. Install it to yoursite.com/whatever (where your Zencart site is now). When you're ready to move your store to the root, https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=122
