A File Manager 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 number of standard capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels can provide more advanced capabilities also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Even though files could be uploaded and downloaded with an FTP client, the File Manager is used much more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to handle your presence online in general. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is tough to use could make it more frustrating and hard for you to handle your website content, particularly if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's a part of our custom Hepsia Control Panel, allows you to administer all the files that you upload to your hosting account easily. You may move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You can easily upload content in the same way - select a file/folder on your personal computer 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 could also access context menus with more advanced options - you will be able to create or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to modify the content with numerous editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We've also included help articles and instructional videos, you can access straight from the File Manager to learn more about its features.
