File Manager

Learn what a File Manager really is and how it differs from its pc counterpart.

All web hosting accounts are handled via a CP and whatever the type of the latter, there's always a File Manager tool, which allows you to look at the files which you have uploaded in the web hosting account and to execute basic operations with them, like moving, copying or deleting. With respect to the particular tool, there can be more complex functions as well, like management of permissions and archives. Certain Control Panels are simpler to work with compared with others and so are their File Manager sections. Considering that that is the main tool you shall use to handle your files, it's essential to check in advance what options it comes with and if it will work for you, because a hard-to-use File Manager could be a burden and can make managing your presence online harder.

File Manager in Cloud Web Hosting

The File Manager tool, that is part of our custom Hepsia Control Panel, allows you to administer all the files that you upload to your cloud web hosting account with ease. You'll be able to move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You can easily upload content in the same manner - pick a file/folder on your PC and drag it to your web browser where 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'll be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to modify the content with a number of editors without ever leaving the CP – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We have also provided help articles and video tutorials, you can access right from the File Manager to learn more about its capabilities.
