All hosting accounts are managed using a Control Panel and whatever the type of the latter, there's always a File Manager tool, which allows you to look into the files that you have uploaded inside the hosting account and to carry out basic operations with them, such as moving, copying or deleting. With respect to the particular tool, there could be more complex functions too, like control over permissions and archives. Some Control Panels are easier to use compared to others and so are their File Manager sections. Considering that that is the main tool that you'll employ to manage your files, it's important to check in advance what options it offers and if it shall suit your needs, because a hard-to-use File Manager can be a burden and can make managing your web presence more challenging.
File Manager in Shared Hosting
The File Manager tool, that is part of our custom Hepsia CP, will enable you to administer all the files you upload to your shared hosting account with ease. You are able to move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them inside the account. You may upload content in the same manner - select a file/folder on your PC and drag it to your 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 advanced options - you'll be able to create or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to edit the content with various editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a code editor, an HTML editor or a plain text editor. We've also added help articles and video tutorials, you can access right from the File Manager to find out more about its functions.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our advanced, albeit easy-to-use File Manager will give you complete control over your content and you won't have any challenges handling the files and folders you create or upload to your semi-dedicated server account, even though you may have never used a hosting service before. The options it's providing are just several mouse clicks away, even the more advanced ones including creating a password-protected folder, setting up or unpacking an archive, modifying UNIX permissions or opening a file inside a plain text or an HTML editor. Using right-click context menus, you shall feel just as if you’re working on your home computer. In addition, the File Manager supports dragging-and-dropping of files and whole folders - both in the account and from your personal computer. With the latter option, you can upload content directly, which removes the need for an FTP client.
