All web hosting accounts are managed through a CP and whatever the brand of the latter, there's always a File Manager tool, which allows you to look at the files that you've uploaded inside the hosting account and to complete simple operations with them, such as moving, copying or deleting. With respect to the specific tool, there could be more advanced functions too, such as control over permissions and archives. Certain Control Panels are simpler to work with compared with others and so are their File Manager sections. Considering that this is the primary tool that you'll employ to control your files, it's essential to check in advance what options it includes and if it will work for you, because a hard-to-use File Manager could be a burden and could make managing your online presence more complicated.

File Manager in Shared Website Hosting

The File Manager tool, that is a part of our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel, will permit you to administer all the files that you upload to your shared website hosting account with ease. You'll be able to move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You can easily upload content in the same manner - select a file/folder on your PC and drag it to your Internet browser where the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder in your account, you can also access context menus with more sophisticated options - you shall be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to modify the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to edit the content with various editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We've also included help articles and instructional videos, which you may access from the File Manager to get more information about its capabilities.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our File Manager tool will enable you to do just about anything you need. It's an element of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all semi-dedicated server accounts and aside from the normal functions including copying, deleting or renaming files, you'll be able to use right-click menus so as to access more sophisticated ones. With a few mouse clicks, you'll be able to password-protect any folder in the account, to modify the UNIX permissions in case a script-based app needs it or to change the content of any file using plain text, WYSIWYG editors and code. What's more, you will no longer need an FTP program to upload new content given that you could simply drag-and-drop files and whole folders from your pc directly to the File Manager. The tool shall do the rest, saving the folder structure of the content which you upload.
