A File Manager software tool is found in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is used to command the files in an account and all File Managers support a variety of basic capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels may provide more complex features too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Even though files may be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is used far more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it will be for you to manage your online presence in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's difficult to use may make it more aggravating and tough for you to control your website content, particularly if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Shared Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's a part of our custom Hepsia Control Panel, will permit you to administer all of the files that you upload to your shared hosting account without any difficulty. You could move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You can upload content in the same way - choose a file/folder on your computer and drag it to your browser in which the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder within your account, you can also access context menus with more complex options - you'll be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to modify the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to edit the content with various editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a code editor, an HTML editor or a plain text editor. We have also provided help articles and instructional videos, which you may access from the File Manager to get more information about its functions.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our sophisticated, although easy-to-work with File Manager will provide you with full control over your content and you'll not have any challenges handling the folders and files you set up or upload to your semi-dedicated server account, even though you may have never used a website hosting service before. The options it's giving you are only a few clicks away, even the more advanced ones including creating a password-protected folder, setting up or unpacking an archive, adjusting UNIX permissions or opening a file in a plain text or an HTML editor. Via right-click context menus, you will feel like you’re working on your desktop computer. In addition, the File Manager supports dragging-and-dropping of files and whole folders - both within the account and from your PC. With the latter option, you can upload content directly, which takes away the need for an FTP client.
