A File Manager software tool is available in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it's employed to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a variety of primary capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A number of Control Panels can offer you more complex capabilities too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Even though files could be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is employed considerably more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to manage your presence online altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is not easy to use could make it more irritating and complicated for you to handle your website content, particularly if you don't have previous experience.
File Manager in Shared Hosting
The File Manager tool, that's a part of our in-house developed Hepsia CP, will permit you to administer all of the files you upload to your shared hosting account without any difficulty. You'll be able to move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You could upload content in the same way - choose a file/folder on your PC and drag it to your web browser where the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder in your account, you can also access context menus with more complex options - you shall be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to edit the content with various editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We have also provided help articles and educational videos, which you can access straight from the File Manager to get more information about its functions.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our File Manager tool allows you to do just about anything you need. It is part of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all semi-dedicated server accounts and besides the regular features including renaming, copying or deleting files, you'll be able to use right-click menus so as to access more complex ones. With a few mouse clicks, you will be able to password-protect any folder inside the account, to change the UNIX permissions in case a script-based app requires it or to alter the content of any file using plain text, WYSIWYG editors and code. What is more, you'll no longer require an FTP program to upload new content since you may simply 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 that you upload.
