A File Manager tool is available in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name implies, it's used to manage the files inside an account and all File Managers support a variety of standard features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A number of Control Panels may provide you with more advanced functions too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that files can be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is used way more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it shall 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 hard for you to control the site content, especially if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Web Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is a part of our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel, will enable you to administer all the files you upload to your web hosting account easily. You'll be able to move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You can easily 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 may 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 modify the UNIX permissions through a web interface or to edit the content with various editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We have also provided help articles and video lessons, that you can access straight from the File Manager to learn more about its functions.
