A File Manager tool is present in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name suggests, it is used to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a number of primary capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels could provide you with more advanced capabilities as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Although files may be uploaded and downloaded with an FTP client, the File Manager is employed a lot more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to handle your online presence altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is not easy to use may make it more annoying and tough for you to control your website content, specifically if you don't have previous experience.
File Manager in Hosting
The File Manager tool, that is a part of our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel, will enable you to administer all of the files you upload to your hosting account without any difficulty. You'll be able to move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You can upload content in the same way - select a file/folder on your computer system 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 could also access context menus with more sophisticated 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 via a web interface or to change the content with numerous editors without ever leaving the CP – a code editor, an HTML editor or a plain text editor. We have also provided help articles and instructional videos, you can access straight from the File Manager to find out more about its features.

It'll only take a click to create, rename or delete a file or a folder inside your account and for your comfort, you will be able to sort the content by name, type, size or last modified date.

The File Manager also comes with more complex features and you will be able to modify file permissions, to work with archives and to edit files with plain text and HTML editors, that could be accessed through right-click context menus.
