One more thing. I think the FileZilla thing is great too. The only reason I use cPanel exclusively now is that uploads seem to go much faster for me than with my ftp client, and there is a lot of functionality in the file manager application that puts a lot of power at your fingertips such as compression, extraction, moving files, and editing files right on the server. I personally find it easier to have all of the functionality I need right in one window, and being able to utilize the very fast speeds of the servers for all the functions I need to accomplish. My server has just been upgraded at my hosting company, it has 16 cpus, a buttload of RAM, and it's really fast. This just makes my zencart work a whole lot easier, but as you can see, there are some limitations as to how cpanel handles files, that workarounds are needed sometimes, so you should consider whether an ftp client such as FileZilla might be easer for you to use...just a thought
