The DotNetNuke File Manager does not show all of the files on my DotNetNuke site

Issue
When you look at the file manager in DotNetNuke that is under either Admin > File Manager or Host > File Manager, it does not show all of the files on your website.  It only shows the files that are under the /portals/_default or /portals/# folders.

Cause
This is by design.  The DotNetNuke file manager only lets you manage files in those locations.

Resolution
If you would like to manage files that are not under the /portals/ folder, you will have to use an FTP client like FileZilla.

If your DotNetNuke site is not showing all of the files in the /portals/ folder, then you may need to synchronize the files system.
  • In order to do that, select the (Host or Portal) Root folder, and click Synchronize Files.
  • You may have to repeat this process a couple times.
  • You also may need to refresh the page that has the file manager module on it.
