File Manager

What precisely is a File Manager? How much does it differ from its desktop equivalent?

A File Manager tool is present in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it is employed to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of basic features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Several Control Panels can provide more advanced features as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Despite the fact that files may be uploaded and downloaded with an FTP client, the File Manager is used far more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it will be for you to handle your presence online as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is hard to use can make it more annoying and challenging for you to manage your site content, especially if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Cloud Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's a part of our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel, will permit you to administer all of the files which you upload to your cloud 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 - pick a file/folder on your computer system 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 could 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 using a web interface or to modify the content with numerous editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a code editor, an HTML editor or a plain text editor. We've also provided help articles and video lessons, which you may access from the File Manager to learn more about its functions.
