A File Manager software tool is present in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name suggests, it's used to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a number of standard functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels could provide more advanced features too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files could be uploaded and downloaded through an FTP client, the File Manager is used far more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to manage your presence online altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is hard to use could make it more aggravating and challenging for you to control the website content, particularly if you don't have previous experience.

File Manager in Shared Web Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's a part of our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel, will allow you to administer all of the files you upload to your shared web hosting account without any difficulty. You may move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You can easily upload content in the same way - pick a file/folder on your computer system and drag it to your Internet browser where the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder within your account, you can also access context menus with more complex options - you'll be able to create or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to change the content with various editors without ever leaving the CP – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We've also included help articles and instructional videos, you can access right from the File Manager to learn more about its features.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is part of our custom Hepsia website hosting CP, shall give you total control over your data and will take away the need of using third-party software. If you want to upload a file to your semi-dedicated server account, you'll only need to drag-and-drop it, due to the fact that the File Manager supports uploads, so you'll not have to employ an FTP client anymore. You'll also be able to move folders and files in the account just as easily and their structure will be kept intact. If you want 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 need to use the right-click, given that you can access all of these features from right-click context menus - you’ll feel as if you’re working on your home computer. To make handling your content so much easier, you'll be able to sort it in ascending or descending order by name, size or last modified date.
