A File Manager tool is found in all hosting Control Panels. As the name implies, it is used to manage the files inside an account and all File Managers support a variety of basic functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels could offer you more complex capabilities also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Even though files may be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is used considerably more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to handle your online presence in general. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is not easy to use may make it more frustrating and difficult for you to manage the site content, especially if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Shared Web Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's a part of our custom Hepsia CP, will allow you to administer all the files that you upload to your shared web hosting account with ease. You can move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You could upload content in the same manner - pick a file/folder on your computer and drag it to your web browser in which the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder in your account, you may also access context menus with more complex 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 edit the content with various editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We have also added help articles and educational videos, you can access from the File Manager to learn more about its capabilities.
