A File Manager software tool is found in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it's employed to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of primary features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels can offer you more complex capabilities too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files may be uploaded and downloaded with an FTP client, the File Manager is employed way more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to handle your presence online in general. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is not easy to use could make it more aggravating and complicated for you to control the website content, particularly if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Cloud Web Hosting

The File Manager tool, that is a part of our in-house made Hepsia CP, allows you to administer all the files that you upload to your cloud web hosting account easily. You can move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You can upload content in the same way - 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 in 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 through a web interface or to modify the content with a variety of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a code editor, an HTML editor or a plain text editor. We have also provided help articles and instructional videos, which you can access right from the File Manager to learn more about its functions.
