All hosting accounts are managed through a Control Panel and irrespective of the type of the latter, you can always find a File Manager tool, which allows you to look into the files that you have uploaded inside the web hosting account and to complete basic operations with them, like moving, copying or deleting. With respect to the particular tool, there may be more advanced features too, such as control over permissions and archives. Certain Control Panels are simpler to use compared to others and so are their File Manager sections. Since that is the primary tool you will employ to handle your files, it is important to check in advance what options it comes with and if it shall appeal to you, because a hard-to-use File Manager may be a burden and will make managing your online presence more challenging.
File Manager in Website 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 website hosting account with ease. You can move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You could upload content in the same manner - pick a file/folder on your personal 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 shall be able to create or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions via a web interface or to edit the content with a number of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – a code editor, an HTML editor or a plain text editor. We have also added help articles and educational videos, which you can access right from the File Manager to get more information about its functions.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our sophisticated, albeit easy-to-use File Manager will give you full control over your content and you'll not have any challenges managing the files and folders that you create or upload to your semi-dedicated server account, even when you have never used a web hosting service before. The options it is providing are no more than a couple of mouse clicks away, even the more advanced ones such as 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. Through right-click context menus, you will feel like you’re working on your home computer system. In addition, the File Manager supports dragging-and-dropping of files and whole folders - both in the account and from your notebook or computer. With the latter alternative, you can upload content directly, which takes away the need for any FTP client.
