A File Manager software tool is available in all hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is employed to command the files in an account and all File Managers support a number of primary functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels may offer you more advanced functions also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files could be uploaded and downloaded via 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 manage your presence online in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is not easy to use can make it more annoying and hard for you to manage your website content, specifically if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Web Hosting

The File Manager tool, that is a part of our in-house developed Hepsia CP, will enable you to administer all the files that you upload to your web hosting account with ease. You can move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You may upload content in the same way - pick a file/folder on your PC and drag it to your web browser where the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder inside your account, you could also access context menus with more complex options - you shall be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to modify the content with a number of editors without ever leaving the CP – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We have also included help articles and video lessons, that you can access right from the File Manager to get more information about its features.
