A File Manager tool is available in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is employed to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a number of primary capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels can offer you more advanced capabilities too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that files may be uploaded and downloaded through an FTP client, the File Manager is employed considerably more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to control your presence online as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's difficult to use may make it more aggravating and tough for you to handle your website content, specifically if you don't have previous experience.

File Manager in Shared Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is part of our in-house built Hepsia CP, allows you to administer all of the files that you upload to your shared hosting account without any difficulty. You can move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You may upload content in the same way - choose a file/folder on your PC and drag it to your 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 advanced options - you will be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to modify the content with a variety of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We've also included help articles and educational videos, which you can access straight from the File Manager to get more information about its features.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our File Manager tool will allow you to do just about anything you need. It is an element of the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all semi-dedicated server accounts and in addition to the standard features like copying, deleting or renaming files, you will be able to use right-click menus to access more sophisticated ones. With a couple of clicks, you shall be able to password-protect any folder inside the account, to edit the UNIX permissions if a script-based app requires it or to modify the content of any file using WYSIWYG editors, plain text and code. What is more, you'll no longer require an FTP program to upload new content as you can just drag-and-drop files and entire folders from your computer directly to the File Manager. The tool shall do the rest, saving the folder structure of the content you upload.
