A File Manager software tool is found in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name implies, it's employed to manage the files inside an account and all File Managers support a range of primary features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels can provide you with more advanced features as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files may be uploaded and downloaded with an FTP client, the File Manager is employed considerably more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to handle your online presence in general. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is tough to use may make it more aggravating and tough for you to manage the site content, especially if you do not have previous experience.
File Manager in Website Hosting
The File Manager tool, that's a part of our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel, will allow you to administer all of the files you upload to your website hosting account without any difficulty. You could move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You could upload content in the same way - choose a file/folder on your personal computer 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 could also access context menus with more sophisticated options - you will be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to modify the content with a number of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We have also provided help articles and instructional videos, you can access from the File Manager to find out more about its capabilities.
