File Manager
Discover more about the attributes of a File Manager within a web hosting control panel and why you will need one.
A File Manager tool is present in all hosting Control Panels. As the name indicates, it is used to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a number of basic functions - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Some Control Panels may offer more advanced functions also - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files could be uploaded and downloaded through an FTP client, the File Manager is employed a lot more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to handle your online presence altogether. The opposite is also true - a File Manager that is hard to use could make it more irritating and difficult for you to handle the website content, especially if you don't have previous experience.
