A File Manager software tool is available in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name implies, it is used to control the files inside an account and all File Managers support a range of basic features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels can provide more complex features too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files can be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is employed considerably 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 hard to use can make it more frustrating and difficult for you to manage your site content, especially if you do not have previous experience.

File Manager in Cloud Web Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's part of our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel, allows you to administer all the files that you upload to your cloud web hosting account with ease. You may move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You can easily upload content in the same way - pick a file/folder on your computer system and drag it to your web browser where the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder inside 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 using a web interface or to modify the content with various editors without ever leaving the CP – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We've also included help articles and video lessons, that you can access right from the File Manager to find out more about its capabilities.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our highly developed, albeit easy-to-work with File Manager will provide you with total control over your content and you'll not have any issues managing the files and folders which you set up or upload to your semi-dedicated server account, even if you have never used a website hosting service before. The options it's giving you are no more than several clicks away, even the more advanced ones such as setting up a password-protected folder, creating or unpacking an archive, changing UNIX permissions or opening a file inside a plain text or an HTML editor. From right-click context menus, you shall feel as if you’re working on your home computer. What's more, the File Manager supports dragging-and-dropping of files and whole folders - both within the account and from your laptop or computer. With the latter alternative, you can upload content directly, which takes away the need for an FTP client.
