This post is the continuation of the previous one about how to deploy your web site at the free       000webhost  web hosting.
Therefore, this tutorial supposes that you have a working web site at 000webhost .
And now you are confronted with the need to edit a file at your deployed site. For this purpose, i'll use one of my web sites hosted at 000webhost:

How to edit a file on a deployed AngularJS web site FREE hosted at 000webhost

Let's say that my 000webhost web site , which sends requests to an OData Web Service, stops working properly , showing as follows :



I can see that the request call to the OData protocol based web service renders a 404 (NOT FOUND) response code, because the OData URI has been changed. Therefore i need to fix this bug by editing the javascript file of the web site hosted at 000webhost.
Open the CPanel of the web site:

At the CPanel click the "Another File Manager" :

 Find the file to update and click on "download" :

After the  download , open the file in order to edit it. You can edit the file with Notepad, by clicking "Edit" , or alternatively you can use the excellent  Notepad++ editor , which you can download for FREE at the Notepad++ site :

Notepad++ offers a lot of functionality  , such as testing your web pages on several browsers :

When you are done, save the file and return to the   000webhost dashboard. There, open the "Another File Manager",  look for the file that you want to replace (the one you just edited) . Click on "Upload File" and "Choose file"   :

In our example, the edition of the javascript file fixed the problem, and now the requests to the OData service are sent properly, and are returning  code 200 ("OK") responses :

Important: If you are faced with the following error while opening the 000webhost File Manager,  that's because the session ended, then close the file manager ,  log in again to 000webhost , and  open again the file manager :

That's all!!
