A File Manager tool is present in all Internet hosting Control Panels. As the name shows, it's used to manage the files in an account and all File Managers support a number of primary capabilities - browsing, moving, copying and deleting files. Certain Control Panels may offer more complex capabilities as well - changing file and folder permissions or creating and unpacking archives. Though files can be uploaded and downloaded via an FTP client, the File Manager is employed much more often, so the easier to use it is, the easier it shall be for you to handle your online presence in its entirety. The opposite is also true - a File Manager which is difficult to use can make it more aggravating and complicated for you to handle your site content, specifically if you don't have previous experience.

By right-clicking a file or a folder within your account, you can also access context menus with more advanced options - you shall be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to set up a password-protected area, to modify the UNIX permissions using a web interface or to change the content with a number of editors without ever leaving the Control Panel – an HTML editor, a plain text editor or a code editor. We've also included help articles and educational videos, which you can access from the File Manager to find out more about its capabilities.
