A File Manager software tool is available in all hosting Control Panels. As the name suggests, it is used to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a variety of basic capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A number of Control Panels can provide more complex features as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that files could be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is employed much more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it will be for you to manage your presence online in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is not easy to use may make it more irritating and complicated for you to manage your site content, specifically if you do not have previous experience.
File Manager in Hosting
The File Manager tool, that's part of our in-house developed Hepsia CP, will allow you to administer all the files that you upload to your hosting account with ease. You could move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You can easily upload content in the same manner - pick a file/folder on your computer and drag it to your web browser in which the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder inside your account, you may also access context menus with more sophisticated options - you will be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to modify the content with a number of editors without ever leaving the CP – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We've also included help articles and video tutorials, you can access straight from the File Manager to find out more about its functions.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our File Manager tool will enable you to do pretty much anything you need. It's an element of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all semi-dedicated server accounts and aside from the regular features like renaming, copying or deleting files, you'll be able to use right-click menus in order to access more advanced ones. With several mouse clicks, you'll be able to password-protect any folder inside the account, to modify the UNIX permissions if a script-based application requires it or to edit the content of any file using WYSIWYG editors, plain text and code. In addition, you will no longer need an FTP program to upload new content because you may just drag-and-drop files and entire folders from your personal computer directly to the File Manager. The tool shall do the rest, preserving the folder structure of the content you upload.
