A File Manager tool is found in all hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is employed to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of standard functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A number of Control Panels can provide you with more advanced capabilities as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files can 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 will be for you to handle your online presence in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is tough to use could make it more annoying and difficult for you to control the site content, especially if you don't have previous experience.
File Manager in Website Hosting
The File Manager tool, that's part of our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel, will enable you to administer all the files which you upload to your website hosting account easily. You can move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You could upload content in the same manner - 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 inside your account, you may also access context menus with more complex options - you will be able to create or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to edit 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 video tutorials, that you can access right from the File Manager to get more information about its features.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our File Manager tool will enable you to do pretty much anything you need. It's part of the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all semi-dedicated server accounts and besides the standard functions such as copying, deleting or renaming files, you will be able to use right-click menus so as to access more sophisticated ones. With a couple of mouse clicks, you will be able to password-protect any folder in the account, to modify the UNIX permissions in case a script-based application requires it or to modify the content of any file using plain text, WYSIWYG editors and code. What's more, you will no longer require an FTP program to upload new content since you could just drag-and-drop files and entire folders from your personal computer straight to the File Manager. The tool will do the rest, conserving the folder structure of the content which you upload.
