A File Manager tool is available in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name suggests, it's used to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of primary capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Several Control Panels may provide you with more complex features too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Even though files can be uploaded and downloaded through an FTP client, the File Manager is used a lot more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it will be for you to control your online presence altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's not easy to use could make it more irritating and hard for you to handle your site content, particularly if you don't have previous experience.
File Manager in Website Hosting
If you order a website hosting plan through our company, you may take advantage of a modern File Manager tool, which is part of our Hepsia website hosting hosting CP. It provides lots of features and even conventional ones like copying or moving files may be accessed from right-click context menus, that'll make you feel like you’re working with an application on your home computer. If you move whole folders, their structure will be kept unchanged, so you won't have to worry about scrambled files. The context menus shall give you access to a lot of other sophisticated features too, so things like creating an archive of an entire folder or creating a password-protected area shall be simply a mouse click away. Also, you will not need a third-party FTP program to upload content, considering that our File Manager supports drag-and-drop file and folder uploads. You may also use three different file editors – a WYSIWYG editor, a code editor and a plain text editor.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our File Manager tool will allow you to do just about anything you require. It is an element of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all semi-dedicated server accounts and in addition to the regular features like copying, deleting or renaming files, you will be able to use right-click menus to access more complex ones. With several mouse clicks, you shall be able to password-protect any folder inside the account, to modify the UNIX permissions in case a script-based app needs it or to change the content of any file using plain text, WYSIWYG editors and code. What is more, you'll no longer need an FTP program to upload new content as you can just drag-and-drop files and whole folders from your pc straight to the File Manager. The tool shall do the rest, saving the folder structure of the content which you upload.
