A File Manager software tool is available in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it is used to command the files in an account and all File Managers support a variety of primary functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels could offer more advanced functions also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files can be uploaded and downloaded with an FTP client, the File Manager is employed much more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to handle your presence online as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is difficult to use can make it more aggravating and hard for you to handle the website content, especially if you don't have previous experience.

File Manager in Cloud Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's part of our custom Hepsia Control Panel, will enable you to administer all of the files you upload to your cloud hosting account easily. You could move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You may upload content in the same manner - choose a file/folder on your personal computer and drag it to your 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 set up or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to edit the content with a number of editors without ever leaving the CP – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We have also provided help articles and video lessons, that you can access from the File Manager to learn more about its capabilities.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is part of our custom Hepsia web hosting CP, shall give you full control over your data and will remove the need of using third-party software. If you'd like to upload a file to your semi-dedicated server account, you will simply have to drag-and-drop it, since the File Manager supports uploads, so you will not have to use an FTP client anymore. You shall also be able to move files and folders in your account just as easily and their structure will be kept intact. If you would like 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 by using a plain text or an HTML editor, you will simply have to use the right-click, since you can access all these functions via right-click context menus - you’ll feel as though you’re working on your personal computer. To make managing your content even easier, you shall be able to organize it in ascending or descending order by last modified date, name or size.
