A File Manager software tool is present in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name implies, it is used to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a variety of basic features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels can offer more advanced capabilities as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that files can be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is employed considerably more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to manage your presence online altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is difficult to use may make it more aggravating and challenging for you to manage your Internet site content, especially if you do not have previous experience.

File Manager in Shared Website Hosting

If you order a shared website hosting from our company, you can take advantage of a modern File Manager tool, that is part of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It comes with lots of capabilities and even traditional ones including copying or moving files can be accessed via right-click context menus, which will make you feel like you’re working with an app on your desktop computer. If you relocate whole folders, their structure shall be kept unchanged, so you will not have to be worried about scrambled files. The context menus shall give you access to loads of other innovative functions as well, so things such as creating an archive of a whole folder or creating a password-protected area shall be just a mouse click away. What's more, you will not need a third-party FTP program to upload content, due to the fact that our File Manager supports drag & drop and folder uploads. You can also use three separate file editors – a plain text editor, a code editor and a WYSIWYG editor.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our File Manager tool will permit you to do virtually anything you need. It is an element of the Hepsia CP, provided with all semi-dedicated server accounts and besides the regular functions such as copying, deleting or renaming files, you'll be able to use right-click menus in order to access more sophisticated ones. With a few clicks, you'll be able to password-protect any folder inside the account, to edit the UNIX permissions in case a script-based app requires it or to change the content of any file using WYSIWYG editors, plain text and code. Additionally, you shall no longer need an FTP program to upload new content as you could just drag-and-drop files and entire folders from your personal computer directly to the File Manager. The tool will do the rest, conserving the folder structure of the content that you upload.
