In the top left-hand corner of the account Dashboard, select File Manager.
In the cPanel File Manager, use the directory tree to browse to the file you want to edit.

(Optional) Select any encoding options you want to use and then click Edit.
Edit your file, and then click Save Changes.
Click Close to go back to the main File Manager page.
