How to get the full path to a file

Knowing the absolute path to a file is essential for configuring cron jobs, include paths in PHP, or executing scripts via SSH. You can find this information directly within the LxRoot File Manager.

Locating the path:

  1. Open Websites in the left sidebar.
  2. Select the specific website where your script or file is located.
  3. On the Website dashboard, click the Files tab to open the File Manager.
  4. Navigate to your file, right-click on it, and select Get info.

Result

/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/scripts/backup.php

The Full Path will be displayed in the information modal, which you can then copy to your clipboard.

SSH Users: You can also find your current directory path by logging in via SSH and typing the command pwd (Print Working Directory).
