A File Manager software tool is present in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is employed to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a number of primary features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A number of Control Panels can provide more advanced capabilities too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files could 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 shall be for you to handle your online presence in general. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is hard to use may make it more frustrating and hard for you to handle your Internet site content, specifically if you lack previous experience.
File Manager in Shared Website Hosting
The File Manager tool, which is part of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, will permit you to administer all of the files that you upload to your shared website hosting account easily. You can move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them in 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 inside your account, you could also access context menus with more complex options - you shall be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions through a web interface or to change the content with a number of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We have also provided help articles and video tutorials, which you may access from the File Manager to get more information about its functions.
