A File Manager software tool is available in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name implies, it's employed to command the files in an account and all File Managers support a range of basic functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels may provide more advanced capabilities too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files could 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 presence online as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is difficult to use may make it more aggravating and tough for you to handle your website content, particularly if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Shared Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is part of our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel, will allow you to administer all the files which you upload to your shared hosting account effortlessly. You could move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You may upload content in the same way - pick 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 can also access context menus with more advanced options - you will 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 a number of editors without ever leaving the CP – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We have also provided help articles and video lessons, which you may access straight from the File Manager to find out more about its features.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

The File Manager tool, which is an important part of our custom Hepsia hosting CP, shall give you total control over your content and will take away the need of using third-party apps. If you wish to upload a file to your semi-dedicated server account, you will only need to drag-and-drop it, since the File Manager supports uploads, so you shall not need to employ an FTP client anymore. You will also be able to move folders and files inside your account just as fast and their structure shall be kept the same. If you'd like to change the permissions of any file, to set up a password-protected area for a domain name or a subdomain or to edit a file using a plain text or an HTML editor, you'll simply have to use the right-click, since you can access all of these functions through right-click context menus - you’ll feel as though you’re working on your computer system. To make managing your content even easier, you'll be able to sort it in ascending or descending order by last modified date, size or name.
