A File Manager tool is present in all hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it's used to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a number of standard capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels may offer you more complex capabilities too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files can be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is employed much more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to manage your online presence in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is not easy to use may make it more aggravating and hard for you to manage your website content, especially if you lack previous experience.
File Manager in Cloud Website Hosting
The File Manager tool, that is a part of our custom Hepsia Control Panel, will permit you to administer all the files you upload to your cloud website hosting account with ease. You are able to move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You can easily upload content in the same way - select a file/folder on your computer system and drag it to your Internet browser where the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder inside your account, you could also access context menus with more advanced options - you shall be able to create or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to edit the content with numerous editors without ever leaving the CP – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We've also added help articles and educational videos, which you can access straight from the File Manager to find out more about its features.
