A File Manager software tool is present in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name implies, it is used to manage the files inside an account and all File Managers support a range of primary functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels can provide more complex functions too - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files could be uploaded and downloaded using an FTP client, the File Manager is employed a lot more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it will be for you to handle your online presence as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is hard to use could make it more annoying and complicated for you to control the website content, particularly if you do not have previous experience.

File Manager in Cloud Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is part of our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel, will allow you to administer all the files you upload to your cloud hosting account without any difficulty. You are able to move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You could upload content in the same manner - select a file/folder on your PC and drag it to your Internet browser in which the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder within your account, you may also access context menus with more advanced options - you shall 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 various editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We have also included help articles and video lessons, which you may access from the File Manager to find out more about its functions.
