You can easily pull data files from your desktop machine or laptop and drop them in your Online Control Panel through a secure SSL connection. That’s all.

The vast majority of File Managers specify all of the activities you can conduct within a file or directory at the top of the webpage. We feel that the latter is just not properly arranged. With the File Manager, you can get all file administration options any time you right–click a file or folder. This option is also applicable for a number of files/folders.

It is possible to rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete every file or directory you decide on with a click of the mouse.

The File Manager features a built–in archive/unarchive option that will help you submit massive archives and extract them in your hosting account within seconds. The moment compressing a file or folder, you are able to select the name for the archive which is to be created as well as its extension – .ZIP, .RAR or .TAR.GZ. In addition, it will be easy to archive active folders or files with simply a mouse–click.

The archive/unarchive solution you can find at the File Manager lets you work with enormous files right from your Online Control Panel. You don’t need to work with any third–party software such as an FTP client so as to upload a large file in your account or download an archive to your desktop.

With the File Manager you can alter your files instantly on the Internet using the in–built software instruments. The text editor reveals the files with a plain text file format, the code editor provides syntax accentuating for your personal .PHP or .JS files, and then the WYSIWYG editor enables you to see all the edits when they show up online. Also, all changes which you generate and keep are going to be displayed quickly on the Internet, so it’s possible to examine them inside your Internet browser and return to create more edits, in case you are not happy with the result.

You do not have to download any files whatsoever, to change them in your personal computer and then to re–upload them back to your web hosting account. Each of the editors are found through the buttons at the top of the file table or at the right–click contextual menus.

Each of the files in your hosting account are neatly arranged into directories. Each and every host features its own main directory, which follows the file structure that you have selected. By doing this, it is really simple to maintain all of your current hosts from one location without any chance of getting lost or puzzled.

By standard, you will see all of the hosts placed in a table and when you mouse–click once over a given host, you will observe the whole set of sub–folders and files related to it. By clicking twice, you will visit a webpage which is focused on that host only. An additional way to load the folder pertaining to a certain host and to use it solely, is by using the drop–down menu towards the top of the primary File Manager file table.
