Name:
Shows the name of the file or folder. File names are usually separated by a period. The letters after the period are an indication of what kind of file it is. These are called a file extension and are used by the computer to indicate which program to use to open the file.
Eg. .html is a webpage, .doc is a document, .mp3 is an MP3 music file.

Size:
Shows how large the file is in bytes. Each file or folder has a certain size depending on how much data is stored in the file. Files that hold pictures are usually larger than web page files. Files that hold sound and video are a lot larger than any other files.

Modified:

Action:
Are the ways you can modify that file or folder.
Delete: Will permanently delete the file. It will prompt you to press OK before it deletes the file in case you accidently press the button.
Rename: You can rename files and folders to other names. If you are renaming a file, be sure that you keep the same extension (letters after the period). If you don't, the file may become unusable and won't display on your website properly.

Total Account Size:
Shows the total size of all the files and folders in your website, including those in sub-folders.

Bytes Remaining:

Statistics Folder:
Every myknet.org account has a statistics folder. The statistics folder holds information about your website such as how many hits, visits, you have had in the past day, month, and year. Click on the index.html in this folder to visit the page.
