A File Manager tool is available in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is employed to manage the files inside an account and all File Managers support a number of primary features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels could offer you more complex functions too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files may be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is employed much more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it will be for you to manage your online presence altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's hard to use can make it more frustrating and tough for you to control the website content, specifically if you lack previous experience.
File Manager in Shared Website Hosting
The File Manager tool, that is a part of our custom Hepsia CP, allows you to administer all of the files you upload to your shared website hosting account easily. You could move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You may upload content in the same manner - choose a file/folder on your computer and drag it to your web browser where the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder in your account, you can also access context menus with more sophisticated options - you will be able to create or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions through a web interface or to change the content with a number of editors without ever leaving the CP – a code editor, an HTML editor or a plain text editor. We have also included help articles and instructional videos, that you can access from the File Manager to learn more about its features.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our File Manager tool will permit you to do just about anything you need. It's an element of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all semi-dedicated server accounts and aside from the standard features such as renaming, copying or deleting files, you shall be able to use right-click menus in order to access more sophisticated ones. With a couple of clicks, you will be able to password-protect any folder inside the account, to edit the UNIX permissions if a script-based application requires it or to change the content of any file using code, plain text and WYSIWYG editors. Furthermore, you'll no longer require an FTP program to upload new content since you could simply drag-and-drop files and entire folders from your personal computer directly to the File Manager. The tool shall do the rest, saving the folder structure of the content that you upload.
