A File Manager software tool is present in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it's employed to command the files in an account and all File Managers support a variety of standard features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels could provide you with more advanced capabilities as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files can be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is employed 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 is tough to use may make it more irritating and challenging for you to handle your site content, especially if you don't have previous experience.

File Manager in Shared Website Hosting

The File Manager tool, that is a part of our in-house built Hepsia CP, will enable you to administer all of the files you upload to your shared website hosting account without any difficulty. You'll be able to move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You could upload content in the same manner - pick a file/folder on your computer system and drag it to your web browser in which the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder inside your account, you can also access context menus with more sophisticated options - you will be able to create or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions through a web interface or to change the content with a variety of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a code editor, an HTML editor or a plain text editor. We've also included help articles and educational videos, which you can access straight from the File Manager to learn more about its functions.

Through right-click context menus, you shall feel as if you’re working on your home PC. Furthermore, the File Manager supports dragging-and-dropping of files and entire folders - both in the account and from your personal computer.
