All hosting accounts are managed from a Control Panel and no matter the type of the latter, there is always a File Manager tool, which lets you look at the files which you have uploaded inside the web hosting account and to perform simple operations with them, including moving, copying or deleting. Based on the particular tool, there could be more advanced functions as well, such as control over permissions and archives. Some Control Panels are simpler to work with than others and so are their File Manager sections. Considering that that's the main tool you'll employ to manage your files, it is critical to check in advance what options it comes with and if it shall appeal to you, because a hard-to-use File Manager could be a burden and could make managing your web presence more complicated.

File Manager in Cloud Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's part of our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel, will allow you to administer all the files you upload to your cloud hosting account effortlessly. You'll be able to move files and entire folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You may upload content in the same way - pick a file/folder on your computer and drag it to your web browser in which the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder inside your account, you may also access context menus with more advanced options - you'll be able to create 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 various editors without ever leaving the CP – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We've also included help articles and instructional videos, that you can access from the File Manager to get more information about its features.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our File Manager tool will enable you to do virtually anything you require. It is a part of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all semi-dedicated server accounts and besides the standard functions like copying, deleting or renaming files, you will be able to use right-click menus to access more advanced ones. With several clicks, you will be able to password-protect any folder in the account, to edit the UNIX permissions if a script-based app needs it or to edit the content of any file using WYSIWYG editors, plain text and code. What is more, you shall no longer require an FTP program to upload new content given that you may simply drag-and-drop files and entire folders from your laptop or computer straight to the File Manager. The tool will do the rest, conserving the folder structure of the content you upload.
