File Manager
Find out more about the functions of a File Manager within a web hosting control panel and why you will need one.
A File Manager tool is available in all website hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it's employed to control the files in an account and all File Managers support a number of primary capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. A few Control Panels may offer more complex features also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files may be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is employed much more often, so the simpler to use it is, the easier it'll be for you to manage your online presence as a whole. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that's not easy to use can make it more frustrating and difficult for you to handle the website content, specifically if you don't have previous experience.
