The vast majority of File Managers list all the actions you can conduct on a file or directory at the top of the webpage. We believe that the latter is not user–friendly enough. Using the File Manager, you can access all file control options at the time you right–click a file or folder. This option is likewise applicable for many different files/folders.

It is possible to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete just about any file or directory you select with merely a mouse–click.

Whenever compressing a directory or a selection of files, you are able to decide on the archive extension (.ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ) as well as the name of one’s archive file.

We have enclosed a group of file editors in the Web Control Panel to help you out create easy and quick improvements for your files without the need to apply third party software applications. With the File Manager you will find a WYSIWYG editor that will help keep an eye on all the current changes you create immediately, a code editor that includes syntax highlighting for one’s .PHP or .JS files, in addition to a plain text editor for more experienced customers. All the changes you make and save are going to be shown instantly on the Internet.

You have access to the file editors when using the buttons near the top of the file table or by right–clicking a particular file/folder.

The File Manager displays all files and folders in a simple to comprehend alphabetical order. The whole set of files pertaining to the different hosts are structured within different folders that are named after their individual domain names, so it’s possible to immediately identify them. This is definitely useful in maintaining a group of web sites at the same time. There’s no opportunity to get lost or to feel really confused amongst the large number of files and directories within your web hosting account.

To gain access to the files under a given host, just select it within the drop–down menu at the top of the file table. Alternatively, you’ll be able to double–click on its directory and you’ll be instantaneously sent to a table showing its files only.

Most web File Managers are slow and difficult to make use of. They give you constrained possibilities and certainly are not really easy–to–work–with.

There’s a single prevalent way to secure a directory with a password – by making an .htaccess file. If, however, you aren’t technically skilled sufficiently, you’ll have issues doing it all on your own. To make things easy, we have designed an uncomplicated password protection user interface to the File Manager obtainable inside the Web Control Panel.

To make use of the option, simply right–click on a directory and pick Password Protection.
