A File Manager tool is found in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it's used to control the files inside an account and all File Managers support a range of standard features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels may provide you with more complex features also - 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 used much more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to handle your presence online altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's difficult to use can make it more irritating and hard for you to manage the site content, especially if you do not have previous experience.

File Manager in Website Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is a part of our in-house made Hepsia CP, will permit you to administer all the files you upload to your website hosting account easily. You are able to move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You can easily upload content in the same manner - choose a file/folder on your computer system and drag it to your web browser in which the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder within your account, you can also access context menus with more sophisticated options - you shall be able to create or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to change the content with a number of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We have also added help articles and video lessons, which you may access straight from the File Manager to find out more about its functions.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

The File Manager tool, which is an integral part of our custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, will give you total control over your content and will take away the need of using third-party software. If you would like to upload a file to your semi-dedicated server account, you will only need to drag-and-drop it, because the File Manager supports uploads, so you will not have to use an FTP client anymore. You will also be able to move folders and files within the account just as fast and their structure shall be kept undamaged. If you want to change the permissions of any file, to create a password-protected area for a domain or a subdomain or to modify a file through a plain text or an HTML editor, you'll only need to use the right-click, considering that you can access all of these features from right-click context menus - you’ll feel as though 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.
