A File Manager tool is available in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is used to command the files inside an account and all File Managers support a variety of primary features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels could provide you with more complex capabilities also - 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 employed way more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it will be for you to control your presence online in general. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is tough to use could make it more irritating and difficult for you to manage the website content, particularly if you lack previous experience.
File Manager in Shared Hosting
The feature-rich File Manager which comes with our shared hosting solutions will make handling your web content as simple as managing files on your PC or laptop. You'll be able to drag-and-drop folders and files not just inside the account, but also straight from your PC, so you will no longer need an FTP client to upload content. In addition, the folder structure shall be maintained, so files from separate folders shall not get mixed. You could also use right-click context menus and access various functions. You shall be able to set up and extract archives, to create password-protected areas plus much more. If you want to modify files, you may do that through a number of different editors - a plain text editor, a code editor and a WYSIWYG editor, so you could opt for the one that you need and feel most comfy working with.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our File Manager tool will allow you to do virtually anything you want. It's an element of the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all semi-dedicated server accounts and apart from the standard functions including copying, deleting or renaming files, you can use right-click menus to access more sophisticated ones. With a couple of clicks, you will be able to password-protect any folder inside the account, to change the UNIX permissions in case a script-based application needs it or to modify the content of any file using plain text, WYSIWYG editors and code. What is more, you will no longer need an FTP program to upload new content since you may simply 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.
