A File Manager tool is found in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it is employed to command the files inside an account and all File Managers support a number of standard features - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A number of Control Panels could provide you with more advanced features also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files can be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is used way more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it will be for you to manage your presence online in general. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is not easy to use may make it more frustrating and challenging for you to control your site content, particularly if you don't have previous experience.
File Manager in Shared Web Hosting
The File Manager tool, that's part of our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel, will permit you to administer all the files you upload to your shared web hosting account effortlessly. You could move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You could upload content in the same manner - choose a file/folder on your personal computer 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 will be able to create or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to edit the content with numerous editors without ever leaving the CP – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We have also added help articles and educational videos, that you can access from the File Manager to learn more about its features.

You shall also be able to relocate files and folders inside your account just as easily and their structure shall be kept intact. If you would like to change the permissions of any file, to set up a password-protected area for a domain name or a subdomain or to edit a file with a plain text or an HTML editor, you will simply need to use the right-click, given that you may access these functions through right-click context menus - you’ll feel as though you’re working on your home computer. To make handling your content a whole lot easier, you will be able to sort it in ascending or descending order by last modified date, size or name.
