A File Manager software tool is present in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name suggests, it's used to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of primary functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A number of Control Panels may offer more complex capabilities also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Even though files may be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is employed far more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it will be for you to manage your online presence in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's tough to use could make it more aggravating and complicated for you to control your site content, specifically if you do not have previous experience.
File Manager in Shared Website Hosting
The File Manager tool, that's part of our custom Hepsia Control Panel, will allow you to administer all the files which you upload to your shared website hosting account with ease. You are able to move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You can upload content in the same manner - select a file/folder on your computer system 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 sophisticated options - you will be able to create or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to edit the content with a variety of editors without ever leaving the CP – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We have also provided help articles and educational videos, you can access straight from the File Manager to find out more about its features.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our File Manager tool will enable you to do practically anything you want. It's a part of the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all semi-dedicated server accounts and in addition to the regular features such as copying, deleting or renaming files, you shall be able to use right-click menus to access more advanced ones. With a few clicks, you'll be able to password-protect any folder inside the account, to modify the UNIX permissions in case a script-based app requires it or to alter the content of any file using code, plain text and WYSIWYG editors. In addition, you shall no longer need an FTP program to upload new content because you may just drag-and-drop files and entire folders from your laptop or computer directly to the File Manager. The tool shall do the rest, preserving the folder structure of the content you upload.
