A File Manager software tool is present in all hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is used to control the files inside an account and all File Managers support a range of standard features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Several Control Panels may provide more advanced functions also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Even though files may be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is employed a lot more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to control your online presence as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's hard to use could make it more annoying and hard for you to handle your website content, particularly if you lack previous experience.
File Manager in Website Hosting
The File Manager tool, that's part of our custom Hepsia Control Panel, will permit you to administer all of the files you upload to your website hosting account with ease. You may 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 browser in which the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder inside your account, you may also access context menus with more complex options - you shall 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 edit the content with a variety of editors without ever leaving the CP – a code editor, an HTML editor or a plain text editor. We have also added help articles and video tutorials, you can access from the File Manager to learn more about its functions.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your websites within a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to benefit from our feature-rich File Manager. The tool is a part of the in-house made Hepsia CP and is just as basic and intuitive to use. It will only take a mouse click to set up, rename or delete a file or a folder inside your account and for your comfort, you will be able to sort the content by type, name, size or last modified date. Because the File Manager supports drag-and-drop actions, you may quickly transfer any content within the account, including folders, and their structure shall be preserved. If you'd like to upload any content, you won't need an FTP program, as you may drag-and-drop the folders straight from your PC. The File Manager also incorporates advanced capabilities and you will be able to alter file permissions, to work with archives and to edit files with plain text and HTML editors, that can easily be accessed via right-click context menus.
