A File Manager software tool is available in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is used to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a variety of standard capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Several Control Panels could offer you more advanced features as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that files can be uploaded and downloaded with an FTP client, the File Manager is used way more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to handle your presence online as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's difficult to use could make it more annoying and challenging for you to handle your website content, especially if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's a part of our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel, will permit you to administer all of the files you upload to your hosting account easily. You'll be able to move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You could upload content in the same way - 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 in your account, you may also access context menus with more complex options - you will be able to create or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to modify the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to modify the content with a variety of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We've also included help articles and instructional videos, that you can access straight from the File Manager to get more information about its capabilities.
