A File Manager tool is present in all web hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it is used to manage the files inside an account and all File Managers support a range of basic features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels may provide you with more advanced functions too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files may be uploaded and downloaded with an FTP client, the File Manager is employed far more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to handle your online presence in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is not easy to use could make it more frustrating and complicated for you to control your website content, particularly if you lack previous experience.

File Manager in Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is part of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, will enable you to administer all the files that you upload to your hosting account with ease. You are able to move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You can easily upload content in the same manner - select a file/folder on your PC 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 can also access context menus with more complex options - you'll be able to create or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to modify the content with a number of 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 educational videos, which you can access from the File Manager to learn more about its features.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our highly developed, though intuitive File Manager will give you 100 % control over your content and you won't have any issues handling the folders and files that you create or upload to your semi-dedicated server account, even though you may have never used a web hosting service before. The options it is providing are only a few mouse clicks away, even the more complex ones including setting up 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. From right-click context menus, you shall feel like you’re working on your desktop computer. Furthermore, the File Manager supports dragging-and-dropping of files and whole folders - both within the account and from your notebook or computer. With the latter alternative, you may upload content directly, which takes away the need for any FTP client.
