# File Add

## Requirements

Linux Control Center = 2.10.X or higher

## Overview

The Linux Control Center allows you to upload and manage files from managed Hosts. The LCC file management provides greater reliability when creating backups of configuration files and more security with access permission control.

## Objective

The objective of this document is to demonstrate the step-by-step process for using the File ADD *Action*

## Add Managed File to Host

1. Access the **Hosts** screen.
