All website hosting accounts are managed via a Control Panel and irrespective of the brand of the latter, there's always a File Manager tool, which enables you to browse the files that you have uploaded in the web hosting account and to carry out simple operations with them, like moving, copying or deleting. Depending on the specific tool, there may be more advanced functions as well, such as control over permissions and archives. Certain Control Panels are easier to use compared to others and so are their File Manager sections. Considering that that's the primary tool that you will employ to handle your files, it's critical to check in advance what options it includes and if it shall suit your needs, because a hard-to-use File Manager may be a burden and could make managing your online presence more complicated.

File Manager in Shared Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is part of our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel, allows you to administer all of the files you upload to your shared hosting account effortlessly. You may move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You can easily upload content in the same way - choose a file/folder on your computer system 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 could also access context menus with more sophisticated options - you'll be able to create or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to change the content with a variety of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a code editor, an HTML editor or a plain text editor. We've also included help articles and video tutorials, that you can access from the File Manager to learn more about its functions.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our File Manager tool will permit you to do just about anything you want. It is part of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all semi-dedicated server accounts and aside from the normal functions like renaming, copying or deleting files, you'll be able to use right-click menus so as to access more complex ones. With a few mouse clicks, you'll be able to password-protect any folder inside the account, to modify the UNIX permissions if a script-based app needs it or to alter the content of any file using code, plain text and WYSIWYG editors. Also, you shall no longer require an FTP program to upload new content because you could simply drag-and-drop files and entire folders from your pc straight to the File Manager. The tool shall do the rest, preserving the folder structure of the content which you upload.
