A File Manager software tool is found in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name implies, it is used to command the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of primary capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Several Control Panels can offer you more advanced functions also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that files may be uploaded and downloaded using 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 control your online presence altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is tough to use can make it more annoying and complicated for you to handle your website content, specifically if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Shared Website Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's part of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, will permit you to administer all of the files which you upload to your shared website hosting account easily. You may move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You can upload content in the same manner - pick 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 set up or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions through a web interface or to change the content with a variety of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a code editor, an HTML editor or a plain text editor. We have also included help articles and video lessons, you can access from the File Manager to learn more about its features.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

The File Manager tool, which is a part of our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, shall give you full control over your web content and will remove the need of using third-party apps. If you would like to upload a file to your semi-dedicated server account, you shall only have to drag-and-drop it, because the File Manager supports uploads, so you'll not need to employ an FTP client anymore. You'll also be able to relocate folders and files inside your account just as fast and their structure shall be kept the same. If you want to change the permissions of any file, to set up a password-protected area for a domain or a subdomain or to edit a file by using a plain text or an HTML editor, you'll simply have to use the right-click, given that you may access these features through right-click context menus - you’ll feel like you’re working on your computer. To make handling your content even easier, you'll be able to sort it in ascending or descending order by last modified date, size or name.
