All hosting accounts are managed from a Control Panel and regardless of the type of the latter, there is always a File Manager tool, which enables you to look at the files which you have uploaded inside the web hosting account and to perform basic operations with them, for example moving, copying or deleting. Based on the particular tool, there can be more advanced features as well, including control over permissions and archives. Certain Control Panels are simpler to work with compared to others and so are their File Manager sections. As this is the primary tool you will use to handle your files, it is essential to check in advance what options it includes and if it will work for you, because a hard-to-use File Manager may be a burden and will make managing your online presence more difficult.

File Manager in Shared Website Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's a part of our in-house made Hepsia CP, allows you to administer all of the files that you upload to your shared website hosting account with ease. You are able to move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You could upload content in the same manner - pick a file/folder on your PC and drag it to your browser where the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder in your account, you may also access context menus with more complex options - you will be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to modify the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to change the content with a variety of editors without ever leaving the CP – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We've also provided help articles and video tutorials, which you can access from the File Manager to get more information about its functions.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The File Manager tool, which is an integral part of our custom Hepsia web hosting CP, shall give you full control over your data and will take away the need of using third-party apps. If you'd like to upload a file to your semi-dedicated server account, you will only need to drag-and-drop it, since the File Manager supports uploads, so you shall not have to use an FTP client anymore. You shall also be able to relocate files and folders in the account just as fast and their structure shall be kept unchanged. If you would like to change the permissions of any file, to create a password-protected area for a domain or a subdomain or to edit a file through a plain text or an HTML editor, you'll only have to use the right-click, given that you could access all these functions using right-click context menus - you’ll feel as though you’re working on your computer. To make managing your content a whole lot easier, you'll be able to sort it in ascending or descending order by last modified date, name or size.
