A File Manager software tool is found in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is employed to command the files in an account and all File Managers support a variety of basic features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels could offer you more advanced functions too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Even though files may be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is employed far more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to handle your online presence as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is hard to use can make it more irritating and tough for you to control the site content, specifically if you do not have previous experience.
File Manager in Cloud Website Hosting
The File Manager tool, which is part of our in-house built Hepsia CP, will permit you to administer all the files that you upload to your cloud website hosting account with ease. You'll be able to move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You could upload content in the same way - choose a file/folder on your computer and drag it to your Internet browser where the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder within your account, you could also access context menus with more sophisticated options - you shall be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to modify the UNIX permissions through a web interface or to modify the content with a number 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 learn more about its capabilities.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our File Manager tool will allow you to do practically anything you require. It's an element of the Hepsia Control Panel, included with all semi-dedicated server accounts and apart from the standard features like renaming, copying or deleting files, you can use right-click menus to access more sophisticated ones. With a couple of mouse clicks, you will be able to password-protect any folder in the account, to edit the UNIX permissions in case a script-based application needs it or to modify the content of any file using WYSIWYG editors, plain text and code. Also, you'll no longer need an FTP program to upload new content as you can just drag-and-drop files and entire folders from your computer directly to the File Manager. The tool shall do the rest, conserving the folder structure of the content which you upload.
