A File Manager tool is available in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it is used to control the files inside an account and all File Managers support a range of standard features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels can offer you more advanced capabilities too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files could be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is used a lot more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it will be for you to handle your presence online as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is not easy to use can make it more frustrating and challenging for you to control the site content, especially if you do not have previous experience.

File Manager in Shared Website Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is part of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, will enable you to administer all the files which you upload to your shared website hosting account without any difficulty. You could move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You could 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 change the UNIX permissions through a web interface or to change the content with numerous editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We've also provided help articles and video lessons, you can access from the File Manager to find out more about its features.
