All web hosting accounts are handled from a Control Panel and regardless of the type of the latter, there is always a File Manager tool, which allows you to look at the files that you have uploaded inside the web hosting account and to execute basic operations with them, for example moving, copying or deleting. With respect to the particular tool, there may be more advanced functions too, including control over permissions and archives. Several Control Panels are easier to work with compared to others and so are their File Manager sections. As this is the primary tool you shall use to handle your files, it's critical to check in advance what options it comes with and if it shall appeal to you, because a hard-to-use File Manager could be a burden and can make managing your web presence harder.
File Manager in Shared Hosting
The File Manager tool, that's a part of our in-house developed Hepsia CP, allows you to administer all the files which you upload to your shared hosting account with ease. You are able to move files and whole folders by dragging-and-dropping them within the account. You can upload content in the same manner - pick a file/folder on your computer and drag it to your web browser where the File Manager is loaded. By right-clicking a file or a folder inside your account, you can also access context menus with more complex options - you will be able to set up or to unpack an archive, to create a password-protected area, to alter the UNIX permissions through a web interface or to modify the content with a variety of editors without ever leaving the CP – a plain text editor, a code editor or an HTML editor. We've also included help articles and video lessons, that you can access right from the File Manager to learn more about its capabilities.
File Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll be able to take advantage of our feature-rich File Manager.

If you would like to upload any content, you'll not need an FTP program, as you can drag-and-drop the folders straight from your laptop or computer. The File Manager also includes advanced capabilities and you shall be able to modify file permissions, to use archives and to edit files with plain text and HTML editors, which can easily be accessed via right-click context menus.
