A File Manager software tool is found in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name suggests, it is employed to control the files inside an account and all File Managers support a variety of primary functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels can provide more advanced features as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files could be uploaded and downloaded through an FTP client, the File Manager is employed far more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it will be for you to manage your presence online altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's tough to use may make it more aggravating and tough for you to handle your website content, particularly if you don't have previous experience.

File Manager in Shared Web Hosting

The File Manager tool, that is a part of our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel, will allow you to administer all the files which you upload to your shared web hosting account with ease. You are able to move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You may upload content in the same way - select a file/folder on your computer system and drag it to your browser in which the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder inside your account, you may also access context menus with more sophisticated options - you shall be able to create or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to modify the content with a number of 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, which you can access right from the File Manager to find out more about its features.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is an important part of our custom Hepsia hosting CP, shall give you 100 % control over your content and will remove the need of employing third-party applications.

If you want to change the permissions of any file, to create a password-protected area for a domain or a subdomain or to edit a file using a plain text or an HTML editor, you'll only need to use the right-click, considering that you can access all of these features using right-click context menus - you’ll feel as if you’re working on your computer. To make handling your content that much easier, you shall be able to organize it in ascending or descending order by size, name or last modified date.
