A File Manager software tool is present in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name implies, it is used to manage the files inside an account and all File Managers support a range of primary functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels may provide you with more complex functions also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that files can be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is used a lot more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to handle your presence online altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's tough to use may make it more irritating and difficult for you to control the site content, especially if you don't have previous experience.

File Manager in Web Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is a part of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, will allow you to administer all the files you upload to your web hosting account effortlessly. You could move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You could upload content in the same manner - select a file/folder on your computer system and drag it to your browser in which the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder within your account, you can also access context menus with more advanced options - you will be able to create or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to change the content with a number of editors without ever leaving the CP – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We've also included help articles and video lessons, that you can access right from the File Manager to learn more about its capabilities.
