A File Manager software tool is available in all hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it's used to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of basic capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels can offer more complex capabilities also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files may be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is employed far more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to handle your presence online in general. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is hard to use can make it more aggravating and tough for you to manage your site content, specifically if you do not have previous experience.
File Manager in Shared Web Hosting
If you buy a Linux shared web hosting package from our company, you could take advantage of a sophisticated File Manager tool, which is part of our Hepsia website hosting hosting Control Panel. It provides a lot of functions and even regular ones including copying or moving files can be accessed from right-click context menus, that will make you feel as if you’re working with an app on your desktop computer. If you relocate entire folders, their structure will be kept unchanged, so you will not need to be concerned about scrambled files. The context menus shall give you access to many other innovative features as well, so things such as creating an archive of a whole folder or creating a password-protected area shall be only a click away. What's more, you will not need a third-party FTP program to upload content, considering that our File Manager supports drag & drop and folder uploads. You can also use 3 separate file editors – a code editor, a WYSIWYG editor and a plain text editor.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The File Manager tool, which is an essential part of our custom Hepsia web hosting CP, shall give you total control over your web 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'll only need to drag-and-drop it, since the File Manager supports uploads, so you shall not need to employ an FTP client anymore. You shall also be able to transfer files and folders in the account just as easily and their structure will be kept the same. If you would like to change the permissions of any file, to create a password-protected area for a domain name or a subdomain or to modify a file through a plain text or an HTML editor, you'll only have to use the right-click, since you can access all of these functions using right-click context menus - you’ll feel as if you’re working on your personal computer. To make managing your content so much easier, you will be able to sort it in ascending or descending order by size, name or last modified date.
