All web hosting accounts are handled via a CP and irrespective of the brand of the latter, you can always find a File Manager tool, which enables you to browse the files you have uploaded inside the hosting account and to complete basic operations with them, like moving, copying or deleting. Based on the particular tool, there can be more complex functions as well, including control over permissions and archives. Several Control Panels are simpler to work with compared to others and so are their File Manager sections. Due to the fact that that's the primary tool you'll use to manage your files, it's essential to check in advance what options it comes with and if it will suit your needs, because a hard-to-use File Manager may be a burden and will make managing your online presence more challenging.

File Manager in Cloud Hosting

The File Manager tool, that's a part of our in-house made Hepsia CP, will enable you to administer all the files that you upload to your cloud hosting account easily. You may move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them in the account. You could upload content in the same way - select a file/folder on your personal computer and drag it to your browser where the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder within your account, you could also access context menus with more advanced options - you will be able to create or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to change the UNIX permissions using 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 have also added help articles and video tutorials, you can access from the File Manager to learn more about its functions.

File Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The tool shall do the rest, saving the folder structure of the content which you upload.
