A File Manager tool is found in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is employed to command the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of basic capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels may provide more complex features also - 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 used a lot more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to control your online presence altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's tough to use could make it more aggravating and tough for you to control your Internet site content, specifically if you do not have previous experience.

File Manager in Shared Hosting

The File Manager tool, that is a part of our in-house developed Hepsia CP, allows you to administer all of the files that you upload to your shared hosting account easily. You could move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You could upload content in the same way - 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 within your account, you can also access context menus with more sophisticated options - you'll be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions through a web interface or to edit the content with a variety of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We have also added help articles and educational videos, you can access from the File Manager to get more information about its capabilities.
