A File Manager software tool is found in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is employed to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a variety of basic functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels can offer you more advanced functions too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files could be uploaded and downloaded using 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 handle your presence online in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is difficult to use could make it more frustrating and complicated for you to manage the website content, particularly if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Cloud Website Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's part of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, allows you to administer all of the files that you upload to your cloud website hosting account easily. You'll be able to move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You can easily upload content in the same manner - select a file/folder on your computer and drag it to your Internet browser in which the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder inside your account, you can also access context menus with more advanced options - you will be able to create or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to modify the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to edit the content with numerous editors without ever leaving the CP – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We have also provided help articles and video tutorials, you can access right from the File Manager to learn more about its features.
