A File Manager software tool is found in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name suggests, it is employed to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a variety of standard functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels may offer more advanced features as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files may be uploaded and downloaded through an FTP client, the File Manager is used way more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to handle your presence online as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is tough to use can make it more aggravating and challenging for you to control your Internet site content, particularly if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Cloud Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is a part of our in-house made Hepsia CP, will permit you to administer all of the files you upload to your cloud hosting account without any difficulty. You may move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You could upload content in the same way - choose a file/folder on your personal computer and drag it to your Internet browser where the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder within your account, you may also access context menus with more advanced options - you shall be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to modify the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to modify the content with a number of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We have also added help articles and video lessons, which you may access straight from the File Manager to learn more about its features.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our File Manager tool will enable you to do pretty much anything you need. It is an element of the Hepsia Control Panel, that comes with all semi-dedicated server accounts and besides the normal functions such as renaming, copying or deleting files, you shall be able to use right-click menus to access more sophisticated ones. With a few clicks, you'll be able to password-protect any folder in the account, to modify the UNIX permissions in case a script-based application requires it or to change the content of any file using code, plain text and WYSIWYG editors. What is more, you will no longer need an FTP program to upload new content because you could just drag-and-drop files and whole folders from your laptop or computer directly to the File Manager. The tool shall do the rest, keeping the folder structure of the content that you upload.
