A File Manager software tool is present in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name implies, it is employed to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a variety of basic capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Several Control Panels may offer you more advanced functions as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Even though files may be uploaded and downloaded through an FTP client, the File Manager is used considerably more often, so the easier 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 which is hard to use may make it more aggravating and challenging for you to control the website content, specifically if you don't have previous experience.

File Manager in Shared Web Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's part of our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel, will allow you to administer all of the files that you upload to your shared web hosting account without any difficulty. You'll be able to move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You could upload content in the same manner - select a file/folder on your computer and drag it to your web 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 complex options - you shall be able to create or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to change 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've also added help articles and educational videos, which you can access right from the File Manager to get more information about its functions.
